CRL
Definition from :rfc:`5280`:
X.509 defines one method of certificate revocation. This method
involves each CA periodically issuing a signed data structure called
a certificate revocation list (CRL). A CRL is a time-stamped list
identifying revoked certificates that is signed by a CA or CRL
issuer and made freely available in a public repository. Each
revoked certificate is identified in a CRL by its certificate serial
number.
