Abstract
A method for distributively managing the CRL in a certifying system to certify the validity of a subscriber in an open communications network such as Internet, includes the steps of registering the certificate policy statement for the CRL by determining the distribution interval of the CRL; setting the structure of the certificate of the subscriber to issue the certificate according to the registered certificate policy statement; attesting the certificate by applying the distribution point mechanism according to the distribution interval to the CRL; and revoking the certificate by using the distribution points to revise the CRL displayed.
