Systems and methods for managing CRLS for a multi-core system

摘要

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for maintaining Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) for client access in a multi-core system. A first core may generate a secondary CRL corresponding to a master CRL maintained by the first core. The CRLs may identify certificates to revoke. The first core can store the secondary CRL to a memory element accessible by the cores. A second core may receive a request to validate a certificate. The second core can provisionally determine, via access to the secondary CRL, whether the certificate is revoked. The second core may also determine not to revoke the certificate. Responsive to the determination, the second core may request the first core to validate the certificate. The first core can determine whether to revoke the certificate based on the master CRL. The first core may send a message to the second core based on the determination.
