Certificate Revocation Reason Codes
What are the reasons why a X.509 certificate got revoked?
✍: FYIcenter.com
When a certificate CA publishes a CRL (Certificate Revocation List) file with a list of revoked certificates, a revocation reason code will be provided for each revocation entry.
There are several reason codes commonly used in CRL files:
