Certificate revocation list
In cryptography, a certificate revocation list (CRL) is "a list of digital certificates that have been revoked by the issuing certificate authority (CA) before their scheduled expiration date and should no longer be trusted". CRLs are no longer required by the CA/Browser forum, as alternate certificate revocation technologies (such as OCSP) are increasingly used instead. Nevertheless, CRLs are still widely used by the CAs.
