Nonmonotonicity, User Interfaces, and Risk Assessment in Certificate Revocation (Position Paper)

Abstract:

We consider certificate revocation from three high-level perspectives: temporal nonmonotonicity, user interfaces, and risk management. We argue that flawed understanding of these three aspects of revocation schemes has caused these schemes to be unnecessarily costly, complex, and confusing. We also comment briefly on some previous works, including those of Rivest, Fox and LaMacchia, and McDaniel and Rubin.
