Re: [lamps] Revocation Request Format?

[Russ Housley <[e-mail]>]

Phill:

PKCS#10 does not specify a method to request certificate revocation.

CMP has a Revocation Request; see Section 5.3.9 of RFC 4210.

CMC has a Revocation Request; see Section 6.11 of RFC 5272.

EST does not specify a method to request certificate revocation, but it does specify a way to carry a "Full PKI Request", which could be a CMC Revocation Request.

SCEP does not specify a method to request certificate revocation.

Do we have a PKIX revocation request format?

I am asking because of a detail in the Trustico situation in which a file of 23K private keys was emailed to a CA to request revocation.

At the point, the circumstances of that situation are not clear. But I can see a scenario in which it is entirely plausible that a CA reseller would have access to large numbers of TLS private keys and that is when they are either hosting or managing the Web sites.

The management interfaces that allow Web sites to be wheeled around a data center have become very sophisticated of late with virtualization and much of that infrastructure is 'secret sauce'.

What might appear to be a five racks of 100 separate machines is likely visible in the management console as one single entity.
