Lifecycle Management

The lifecycle of the Cryptnox Basic Wallet Card is structured into sequential stages that define how the card is initialized, secured, operated, and eventually reset. These stages ensure a controlled and secure management flow from card activation to end-of-life reinitialization.

The main lifecycle stages include:

  1. Startup & Applet Selection
  2. Initialization (fresh card setup)
  3. Pairing & Secure Channel establishment
  4. Authentication (PIN / User key / FIDO2)
  5. Seed & Key Management
  6. Reset / Recovery
