A new system called BlockVoke uses blockchain technology to quickly and securely revoke certificates for online security. This system allows certificate owners and authorities to revoke certificates fast, even root certificates. It's better than traditional methods like CRLs and OCSP because it's more efficient and doesn't compromise privacy. BlockVoke is cost-effective and works well with other security measures, making it a promising solution for keeping online information safe.
