Yes, I think this is what we definetly need. What I was wondering is if available
software can disitinguish CSLs from CRLs ... As far as I know, actually Netscape
does not support CRLs with extentions. Am I wrong ???

Do you know of some software supporting extentions in CRLs (widely available) ???

To issue a CRL, you'd need the CA certificate/key, but in environment where you
have (for security reasons) a network-less CA how to accomplish this ??? Can you
sign CRLs with a certificate that is not the CA Cert ???

I was also thinking about the OCSP service: if I can remember well the possible states
for a given certificate can be Good/Revoked or Unknown only, right ??? What about,
if there is not yet, adding a 'Suspended' state ???

Thank you for the reply,
