Linked Devices

Device linking creates a distinct signing lane for another user-controlled device.

Flow

  1. A new device presents a QR link session with a link public key.
  2. An existing owner device authenticates the user and approves permissions.
  3. The owner worker creates a distinct holder share for the linked device.
  4. The server creates the matching server share for the linked-device lane.
  5. The linked device receives an encrypted holder-share package.
  6. The lane activates after delivery receipt and address parity checks.

The linked device has its own laneId, laneShareEpoch, holder-share envelope, permission policy, revocation status, and audit history.

Owner-equivalent linked-device lanes should require local user presence for signing. Scoped linked-device lanes should use the same mandate admission model as delegated agents.
