題目(Title) Browser certificate revocation-theory and reality
概要(Abstract) The default use of TLS in Internet websites has become more norm than exception in the past years. TLS relies on web server certificates that verify the validity of web sites and establish session keys to encrypt traffic between web servers and browsers. If a certificate needs to be revoked for any reason, browsers need to be aware of this situation so that they block access to this website. IETF has standardized a series of solutions to disseminate this revocation information. However, each successive solution comes with own issues. In addition, browser implementations are not uniform in its handling. As a result, the certificate revocation in websites/browsers is not effective in reality. To address this situation, the IETF’s most recent solution takes a different approach. To see the level of support of this latest standard, we have collected and analyzed a large amount of web server certificates and made an interesting observation. This presentation discusses our observation and possible future way forward to address this problem.
