Abstract :
Public key cryptography is widely used to provide security services. The PKI is the infrastructure that supports the public key cryptography and the revocation of the certificates implies one of its major costs. Our goal is to introduce a Java platform to test, evaluate and dimension certificate revocation systems. The revocation platform includes our implementations of Overissued CRL, OCSP, CPC-OCSP and AD-MHT to perform the certificate status checking, as well as a simple protocol to perform the revocation requests called SCRP.
