Does this relate to why the "emergency CRL" published after the bogus Microsoft code-signing certs were issued was not a "real CRL"? I understood that Microsoft supported one form of "CRL mechanism" while they routinely employed certificates incompatible with that mechanism, and that was the reason they cold not "just revoke" the (bad) certificates that were issued. Also, if a CA (in error) issues several certificates to company X and then simply lists them as revoked (to fix the error), might this look as if company X were at fault (poor key management, invalid requests, etc.,) when in fact there were no such requests? The ambiguity is disturbing. ___tony___ Tony Bartoletti 925-422-3881 <azb@llnl.gov> Information Operations, Warfare and Assurance Center Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, CA 94551-9900
