First of all, thanks for the reply. I wasn't trying to imply that Chrome/Firefox we're wrong in not checking. I understand your points against it; I'm just saying that if people revoke their old certificates today (because they might've been compromised) someone can still MITM pretend to be any of those websites if they actually got the key. Lower scope but still a problem, especially if your cert lasts for 3+ years.
I was using crlset-tools to test the list against an intermediate Comodo CA and the intermediate/anchor certs for Versign and it didn't return any results. I did the same thing for DigiCert and it did return some, so I assumed what I was doing was correct.
- agl 13y agoI certainly believe that you're correct to question the utility of revocation. We don't have all CRLs for all CAs (sadly). Some CAs have also asked for the list not to be published so there's no list of the URLs that we do crawl either :(
