Actually, most things that use X.509-style PKI do a really piss-poor job of supporting a CRL (which is why CERT had to issue an advisory when somebody got a bogus Microsoft certificate). (Hint - figure out when/how IE will find out that the SSL cert for the website you're visiting has been revoked (as opposed to expired)). Over on the PGP side, things aren't much better - first the user has to discover the compromise of the private key and post a key revocation to the various public keyservers, and then people need to re-check their keyrings for new signatures on a regular basis... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
