CRL (Certificate Revocation List)

Also known as: certificate revocation list

Signed list of revoked certificates published by a CA—classical PKI operations tool.

Definition

CRLs distribute revocation data in bulk. Clients download and check lists or use OCSP alternatives.

Like OCSP, CRLs are operational controls on classical PKI—not a post-quantum algorithm choice.
