Managing Certificate Lists
Certificate revocation lists (CRLs) and compromised key lists (CKLs) allow CAs to
specify certificates and keys that client or server users should no longer trust.
If data in a certificate changes, a CA can revoke the certificate and list it in a
CRL—for example, when a user changes offices or leaves an organization before
his or her certificate expires. If a key is tampered with or otherwise compromised, a
CA can list it in a CKL.
CRLs and CKLs are produced and periodically updated by a CA.
To Obtain a CRL or CKL From a CA
1.
Use a browser to go to the CA’s web site. Contact your CA administrator for
the exact URL.
2.
Follow the CA’s instructions for downloading the CRL or CKL to a local
directory.
