چکیده
The topic of computer and network security has gained an ever-increasing amount of interest in recent years. The pervasiveness of computers everywhere means that novel users, from novice to expert, need to be able to manage their own security in an understandable way, when giving information about themselves or making transactions online. In this paper, we will present, discuss, and analyse the various revocation methods of a Simple Public Key Infrastructure (SPKI) certificate based access control mechanism from a user's point-of-view. We will consider the downsides and benefits of each revocation method, and make recommendations for which methods to use in which use situations, and how to present the best choices to the user in an understandable way.
