  7. 15. Understanding Certificate Revocation

    Author : Åsa Hagström; Robert Forchheimer; Ingemar Ingemarsson; Håkan Kvarnström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Revocation; Public-key certificates; Graph transformation; Information science; Informationslära;

    Abstract : Correct certificate revocation practices are essential to each public-key infrastructure. While there exist a number of protocols to achieve revocation in PKI systems, there has been very little work on the theory behind it: Which different types of revocation can be identified? What is the intended effect of a specific revocation type to the knowledge base of each entity?As a first step towards a methodology for the development of reliable models, we present a graph-based formalism for specification and reasoning about the distribution and revocation of public keys and certificates.
