Abstract

Several mechanisms have been proposed for disseminating information regarding the status of a digital certificate, each one with its own advantages and disadvantages. We believe that what is still missing from such mechanisms is transparency. A user should not need to comprehend the mechanics of such mechanisms in order to verify a certificate. In this paper, we present a mechanism called Alternative mechanism for the Dissemination of Certificate Status Information that supports transparency in disseminating Certificate Status Information.
