Revoke a Certificate

If you have the necessary permission, you can submit a request to the certificate authority to revoke it. As soon as the certificate is revoked, the certificate is no longer considered to be trusted. Revoked certificates are listed in the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) maintained by each certificate authority.
