Why couldn't we use a mechanism like certificate revocation?

When you want to revoke you timestamped biometric package you just push it to some online revocation list.



Ok, but then what happens? You can never use you biometrics again?


That's why I said timestamped.

You would generate a new package, with the same biometrics, but with a timestamp after the revocation date of the previous package, just like today you can get a new passport with the same data as the old one.
