CRLManager Component
Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors
The CRLManager component supports the importing, exporting, and validation of Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs).
Syntax
nsoftware.SecureBlackboxLite.Crlmanager
Remarks
CRLs store information about revoked certificates, i.e., certificates that have been identified as invalid for any number of reasons by the issuing certificate authority (CA). CRLs identify certificates by their serial numbers. Therefore, by knowing the certificate's SerialNumber, its validity status can be checked against a CRL.
Each CRL corresponds to one issuing point, and each Certificate Authority (CA) certificate can have a corresponding CRL which contains information about the certificates signed with this CA certificate.
CAs are not required to issue CRLs if other revocation or certificate status mechanisms are provided. Each CRL must contain the date by which the next CRL will be issued. This date is specified by the NextUpdate field.
