6. Revocation

Scenarios: 4
FFI Functions: ~35
Status: ⏳ Planned

This category covers all scenarios for certificate revocation. CRL creation, OCSP responder setup, and Delta-CRL management.

Scenarios

ID Scenario Description Complexity Status
6.1 Create CRL Generate Certificate Revocation List ⭐⭐⭐ ⏳
6.2 OCSP Responder Online Certificate Status Protocol ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⏳
6.3 Delta CRL Incremental CRL updates ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⏳
6.4 Revoke Certificate Revoke individual certificate ⭐⭐ ⏳

Revocation Reasons (RFC 5280)

Code Reason Description
0 unspecified No reason specified
1 keyCompromise Private key compromised
2 cACompromise CA compromised
3 affiliationChanged Organization changed
4 superseded Replaced by new certificate
5 cessationOfOperation Service discontinued
6 certificateHold Temporarily suspended

CRL vs OCSP

Aspect CRL OCSP
Update Periodic (hours/days) Real-time
Size Grows with revocations Constant (~4 KB)
Offline ✅ Possible ❌ Server required
Privacy ✅ No requests visible ⚠️ Server sees requests
Standard RFC 5280 RFC 6960

Industry-Specific Requirements

Industry Method Update Interval Special Features
Energy/SCADA CRL 24-72h Offline environments, manual distribution
Healthcare OCSP Real-time gematik requirements, QES
Automotive CRL + OCSP 1-6h V2X fast response required
Standard IT OCSP Stapling Real-time Performance optimized

Quick Start Code

Create CRL

// Initialize CRL builder
var crlBuilder = ctx.CreateCrlBuilder(issuerCert, issuerKey);
 
// Add revoked certificates
crlBuilder.AddRevokedCertificate(
    serialNumber: revokedCert.SerialNumber,
    revocationDate: DateTimeOffset.UtcNow,
    reason: RevocationReason.KeyCompromise
);
 
// Generate CRL
var crl = crlBuilder.Build(
    thisUpdate: DateTimeOffset.UtcNow,
    nextUpdate: DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddDays(7),
    crlNumber: 42
);
 
File.WriteAllBytes("intermediate.crl", crl.ToDer());

Revoke Certificate

// Load certificate to revoke
var certToRevoke = ctx.LoadCertificate("compromised.crt.pem");
 
// Add to revocation DB
ctx.RevokeCertificate(
    certificate: certToRevoke,
    reason: RevocationReason.KeyCompromise,
    invalidityDate: DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddHours(-2)  // Compromised 2h ago
);
 
// Generate and distribute new CRL
var newCrl = ctx.GenerateCrl(issuerCert, issuerKey);
await PublishCrl(newCrl, "http://crl.example.com/intermediate.crl");
Category Relationship
1. PKI Infrastructure CRL Distribution Points in CA config
5. Validation Revocation check during validation
4. Certificate Management Rekey after revocation
