The private web server must use an approved DoD certificate validation process.
Description
Discussion Text
The Certificate Revocation List (CRL) is used for a number of reasons, for example, when an employee leaves, certificates expire, or if certificate keys become compromised and are reissued. Without the use of a certificate validation process, the server is vulnerable to accepting expired or revoked certificates. This could allow unauthorized individuals access to the web server. The CRL is a repository comprised of revoked certificate data, usually from many contributing CRL sources.
Sites using an Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) rather than CRL download to validate certificates will have obtained and installed an OCSP validation application.
