Name
CRL
Synopsis
This abstract class represents a
certificate revocation list (CRL). A CRL is an
object issued by a certificate authority (or other certificate
signer) that lists certificates that have been revoked, meaning that
they are now invalid and should be rejected. Use a
CertificateFactory
to parse a
CRL
from a byte stream. Use the
isRevoked( )
method to test whether a specified
Certificate
is listed on the
CRL
. Note that type-specific
CRL
subclasses, such as
X509CRL
, may provide access to substantially more
information about the revocation list.
