Revocation has never been used under fire. Many would expect it to fold up and collapse under the slightest attack, it's simply too complex, too much of a paper solution to risk real value on, IMHO. (I recognise that there are a lot of people that have invested a lot of effort in revocation. I'm sorry about that, there's nothing that can really be done about the facts. Revocation is not supported or utilised AFAIK by anyone who has value at risk.) iang -- http://iang.org/ _______________________________________________ mozilla-crypto mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-crypto
