What is required of a subscriber upon separation or retirement regarding their token?

When a subscriber separates or retires from an organization, it is essential for security and compliance reasons that they return their token to their supervisor. Tokens are critical components of the identity management and access control systems within a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). These tokens often contain private keys or other credentials that authenticate the user and grant access to sensitive resources.

Returning the token ensures that the organization can manage and revoke access rights appropriately. This helps to prevent unauthorized access to systems and ensures that any cryptographic keys associated with the token are securely handled after the individual's departure. Keeping the token as a personal possession, destroying it, or donating it would pose security risks and potential breaches of data governance policies. Therefore, returning the token is a necessary step to maintain the integrity of the organization’s security framework.
