I have often considered that a revocation request signed with the corresponding private key is one of the few things in this world one can act upon reliably. If we could build whole systems on such principles, we'd be home free. A question: If one discovers that they have accidently destroyed their private key (and there is no evidence of compromise), are they under any particular obligation to request revocation? Is there any liability, or other real "downside" to simply getting a new key and keeping mum about the fate of the former key? (I ask, because this seems the only case where a revocation request could NOT be signed by the key in question.) ___tony___ >At 04:34 AM 6/9/2001 +0000, Peter Gutmann wrote: >>Nada Kapidzic Cicovic <nada@entegrity.com> writes: >> >> >This is exactly what CMP specifies.
