Abstract
Cryptographic revocation is a hard problem. OpenPGP's revocation mechanisms are imperfect, not fully understood, and not as widely implemented as they could be. Additionally, some historical OpenPGP revocation mechanisms simply do not work in certain contexts. This document provides clarifying guidance on how OpenPGP revocation works, documents outstanding problems, and introduces a new mechanism for delegated revocations that improves on previous mechanism.
