Re: Expired but still valid

Unfortunately if the only solution is CRLs and not certificate expiry dates then as time goes by the CRL will become so large that it will cease to be viable. Therefore expiry dates are a fair solution to things.

As for the cert providers "valuable" service in doing not very much other than processing invoices... yep. It's infuriating the price gouging that went on and is still largely going on.
