ABSTRACT:
Authenticating information about revoked certificates includes generating data identifying the revoked certificates, generating information about the revoked certificates including the data without including the revocation date of every one of the revoked certificates, and having the authority authenticate the information. The data may be generated by performing a hash of at least a portion of each of the certificates. Generating information about the revoked certificates may include adding a date indicating when the information was authenticated and may exclude the revocation date of any one of the revoked certificates in the list.
