!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [Revocation model] that describes ability to revoke [Certificates]
A [Certificate Authority] can revoke any certificate it has issued. A certificate needs to be revoked if one or more of the following situations occur:
* The owner of the [Certificate] has changed status and no longer has the right to use the [Certificate].
* The [Private Key] of a [Certificate] owner has been compromised.
* The [Certificate] owner doesn't want the certificate to be used anymore.
* The [Private Key] of the [Certificate Authority] that issued the certificate has been compromised.
Whenever a certificate is revoked, the [Certificate Authority] updates the status of the certificate in its internal database. This way, the server keeps track of all revoked certificates in its internal database and it makes the revoked list of certificates public (by publishing it to a central repository) to notify other users that the certificates in the list are no longer valid. Typically, the [Certificate Authority] will a method to allow possible users of the [Certificate] to know the status of the [Certificate] through one or more of the following methods:
* [Certificate Revocation Lists]
* [Online Certificate Status Protocol]
