Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs)
In order for the user to be able to verify a certificate's validity
status as effectively and uncomplicated as possible, TC TrustCenter
publishes certificate revocation lists on a regular basis. These lists
contain the serial numbers of all revoked but not yet expired
certificates. Each certificate class has its own CRL, which has been
signed with TC TrustCenter's CA key to ensure authenticity. The CRLs
have to be updated on a regular basis, which limits their validity
period to a short time span. |
