<p>One way to combat this threat is for Certificate Manager to check a certificate revocation list (CRL) as part of the verification process (see <a href="#Managing_CRLs">Managing CRLs</a>, below). Typically, you download a CRL to your browser by clicking a link. If a CRL is present, Certificate Manager checks any certificate issued by the same CA against the list as part of the verification process.
<p>The reliability of CRLs depends on the frequency with which they are both updated by a server and checked by a client. You can configure your <a href="validation_help.html#auto_crl_update_prefs">Automatic CRL Update Preferences</a> so that a CRL will be updated automatically at regular intervals with the version currently on the server.

<p>Another way to combat the threat of compromised certificates is to use a special server that supports the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP).
