Abstract:
1. A method comprising: periodically searching, by a computing system, a cached certificate revocation list (CRL) to detect an entry prior to a published CRL being generated from the cached CRL for publishing, wherein the cached CRL comprises a plurality of revoked certificates by a certificate authority (CA), wherein the detected entry comprises un-encoded information associated with at least one of the plurality of revoked certificates of the cached CRL, and wherein the cached CRL is stored in a memory of the computing system; for each detected entry, encoding, by the computing system, the respective un-encoded information for the detected entry; storing, by the computing system, the encoded information in the respective detected entry of the cached CRL; and scheduling a job in the certificate manager to perform the periodic search of the cached CRL for entries of un-encoded information in the cached CRL, wherein the job is scheduled independently of the published CRL being generated.
