Re: So where does this certificiate they revoked come from?

The certificate is not an Apple certificate. It's an "Enterprise license" certificate, which allows companies to write their own software, sign it with the certificate, ask their employees to install the certificate and then these employees can run the enterprise software. This doesn't work unless the owner of the phone willingly installs that Enterprise certificate.
