@subsection Certificate Revocation, CRL and OCSP
Sonetimes people loose smartcard or computers and certificates have to
be make not valid any more, this is called revoking certificates. There
are two main protocols for doing this Certificate Revocations Lists
(CRL) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP).
If you know that the certificate is destroyed then there is no need to
revoke the certificate because it can not be used by someone else.
The main reason you as a CA administrator have to deal with CRLs however
will be that some software require there to be CRLs. Example of this is
Windows, so you have to deal with this somehow.
