Question
I want to validate the X509 certificate. And I thought to go for X509Certificate2.Verify() method.
However, the documentation does not tell anything about what all things it verifies.
- Please direct me to some documentation which provides details of this method.
- Does Verify() method verifies the certificate against revocation list? If yes, what if online list is not available or network is not available?
- Are there performance implications when you validate certificate against revocation list?
Solution
- Go through this question to understand Verify method more.
- Yes, Verify() method checks if the certificate using which it's called is revoked or not.
- There is no big performance hit but yes, it takes little longer time to verify if the certificate is revoked.
