Lost keys and replacement

The passport number never changes; only the key can be replaced, and only securely.

Updated 2026-10-15

The passport number and issue date are permanent. To replace a key, the traveller's home node sends a signed event naming them with "need_passport_key": true. The new key comes back in that reply and the old one stops working at once.

Watch out

Only the traveller's home node may ask for a replacement, and every replacement is recorded. That stops anyone from pretending to be an agent.
