The website security certificate (SSL certificate) can ensure the real identity, online trust and strong security, which are important guarantees for the survival of a website. What should we do if the website security certificate is revoked?
The revocation of the website security certificate may be caused by the disclosure of the user's private key, improper issuance of the certificate, false or forged materials submitted by the user when applying for the certificate, etc. The certificate revocation caused by all these reasons will lead to the certificate being unavailable, so it is necessary to re apply for the certificate.
Here we need to remind you that you must choose a trusted and authoritative CA organization to apply for a website security certificate. The information provided in the application must be authentic and reliable, and the private key must be saved, so that the certificate can be revoked.
Will revocation of website security certificate affect business?
After the website security certificate is revoked, a prompt similar to "The revocation information of the site security certificate is unavailable. Continue?" will pop up when visitors visit the website. This will cause visitors to distrust the website. They may choose to stop visiting the website in order to avoid personal losses, which will bring some negative impacts to the website's business.
Therefore, after the website security certificate is revoked, you should immediately apply for a new certificate to replace it, so as not to cause unnecessary losses.
