Description
If the operating system does not verify the authenticity of revocation information, there is the potential that an authorized system is providing false information. Acceptance of the false information could result in the installation of unauthorized software or connection to rogue networks, depending on the use for which the certificate is intended. Verifying the authenticity of revocation information mitigates this risk.
