8.3.2 Entity De-registration Function
All changes in this version
Title
Entity De-registration Function
Control
The entity de-registration function removes the authorizations of an entity to participate in a security domain. When an entity ceases to be a member of a security domain, the entity shall be de-registered. De-registration is intended to prevent other entities from relying on or using the de-registered entity's keying material. All records of the entity and the entity’s associations shall be marked to indicate that the entity is no longer a member of the security domain, but the records should not be deleted. To reduce confusion and unavoidable human errors, identification information associated with the de- registered entity should not be re-used (at least for a period of time). For example, if a “John Wilson” retires and is de-registered on Friday, the identification information assigned to his son “John Wilson”, who is hired the following Monday, should be different.
