Revoke and clear

Revoke your card if it is damaged, lost, or compromised. After revocation, you can clear the card, which means deleting all data written to it through Axidian CertiFlow. After clearing, the card remains assigned to you and can be issued again.

info

The administrator configures user permissions for card revoke and clear operations. For more information, see Administrator guide.

If the Revoke certificate at card revoking/disabling option is enabled in the CA certificate template settings, all certificates stored on the card are removed with no option to restore them.
