Certificate Revocation

Revocation is the process of making a certificate invalid. For example, you might need to revoke a certificate if the certificate is no longer required or the certificate's private key is compromised. Make sure that you have permission to revoke a certificate and submit a request to the certificate authority. As soon as the certificate is revoked, it is not considered to be a trusted certificate. Revoked certificates are listed in the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) maintained by each certificate authority.
