Revoke Certificate
Under some circumstances, a digital certificate can be revoked like
-
Users suspect compromise of certificate private key.
-
Change of personal data.
-
Change of relationship with organization
There are two certificate revocation channels.
Revoked by certificate owner
If the user still can remember the encrypted password of the private key,
the user can connect to the RA server revocation service URL which require
to authenticate user's certificate. Then provide the reason for revocation
such as:
-
key compromise
-
affiliation changed

Revoked by RA
If user doesn't know or lose the password, you must approach one of the
RA Officer and provide proof of identity together with the Certificate

certificate on behalf of the user.
