Approve device

POST
/device/approve-device

Overview#

Approve a pending device registration, activating the device and enabling it to participate in storage or authentication workflows.

Approve Device#

Endpoint: POST /device/approve-device
Authentication: Required (Authorization token obtained from the step)
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Request Parameters#

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
deviceIdentifierstringYesThe unique device identifier to approve

Use Case#

After a device requests registration and registers its public key, it enters a pending state awaiting user approval. Use this endpoint to approve the device registration, which:
Activates the device profile
Enables the device to receive encrypted communications from Privicore
Allows Storage devices to receive and store encrypted data
Allows Authenticator devices to receive ballots for voting workflows
Only approved devices can participate in the Privicore ecosystem. This approval step ensures users maintain control over which devices have access to their data and authentication workflows.
Device must have a registered public key before approval
Approval is required for device activation
Once approved, Storage devices begin receiving encrypted data for new data token exchanges
Once approved, Authenticator devices begin receiving ballots for voting mechanisms
Use retrieve profile devices to view pending devices awaiting approval
