# SetDeviceVerificationKey
## Description
Request to switch to a new Platform public key used for verifying OSLP envelopes by the device. The base-64 encoded version of the key will be sent to the device, which is equivalent to the content of a PEM file (only the certificate chunk, not the headers).
## Message definitions
```javascript
message SetDeviceVerificationKeyRequest {
required bytes certificateChunk = 1; // [(nanopb).max_size = 138]; // Verification key / public key of the platform to check the validity of an incoming message.
}
message SetDeviceVerificationKeyResponse {
required Status status = 1;
}
```
## Datatypes
```javascript
enum Status {
OK = 0;
FAILURE = 1; // general failure
REJECTED = 2; // request received in wrong state
}
```
