Like any long-lived credentials, there might be a need to revoke issued U-Prove tokens before they expire. Achieving this might seem counterintuitive: how can you revoke an identity when users are anonymous or pseudonymous? This paper explores various revocation mechanisms compatible with the U-Prove technology, to help system designers select the best one for their applications. All of these mechanisms can be implemented today with the core and extensions U-Prove C# SDKs.}, publisher = {Microsoft Research}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/on-the-revocation-of-u-prove-tokens/}, number = {MSR-TR-2014-122}, }
