Hi there,
 
A question about certificates:
 
In the rfc 2459 definition of the crl format 
 
5.1 CRL Fields (page 42)
 
TBSCertList  ::=  SEQUENCE {
 
.
.
.
 
revokedCertificate         SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE 
    {
     userCertificate       CertificateSerialNumber,
     revocationDate        Time,
     crlEntryExtensions    Extensions OPTIONAL
    } OPTIONAL, 
crlExtensions      [0]     EXPLICIT Extensions OPTIONAL
 
}
 
My doubt is that the OPTIONAL extensions (crlEntry and crlExtensions)
doen't seem to be used. I have tested CRLs from VeriSign, GlobalSign and
Thawte but none uses the OPTIONAL fields just.
 
I know that the version number for the CRL changes from 1 to 2 when
these fields are present but I cannot find one CRL as an example
 
Could someone please help me with this? I am developing a PKI tool and
would like to be able to treat these extensions.
 
Thanks in advance,
