Processes - Revocation
Here you will find information on the «revocation »process for class B certificates.
You can find the process description, quick guides, forms and other documents at Class B - Forms and documents library.
Procedure
There are various reasons why certificates and smart cards may need to be declared invalid. These include loss or theft of the smart card, resignation of the employee and suspicion of abuse. The registration guidelines contain a comprehensive list of the reasons for revocation.
Revocations can be requested by the certificate owner/end user, their superiors, their HR unit or the LRA officer. Revocation requests must always be submitted to the LRA officer.
After the revocation request has been checked, the LRAO launches the Revoke Wizard and selects the smart card that is to be revoked. The requester and the reason for revocation must be entered. The LRAO then initiates the revocation in the system.
All the smart card's certificates are revoked and the smart card itself is blocked. The revoked certificates are recorded as invalid in the CRL (certificate revocation list).
Important
- All certificates on the smartcard will be revoked and the smartcard itself will be blocked.
- The revoked certificates are listed as invalid on the CRL (Certificate Revocation List).
