43can be used to verify if a key has been revoked, to create a revocation certificate for later revocation, to instantly revoke a key and to use a pre-generated revocation certificate to revoke a key.
44Upon successful revocation, all peers will be informed about the invalidity of the key.
45As this is an expensive operation, GNUnet requires the issuer of the revocation to perform an expensive proof-of-work computation before they will be allowed to perform the revocation.
46gnunet-revocation will perform this computation.
47The computation can be performed ahead of time, with the resulting revocation certificate being stored in a file for later "instant" use.
48gnunet-revocation also makes is possible to resume the pre-calculation of a revocation --- simply abort a running proof-of-work calculation with CTRL-C, and the existing revocation certificate file will contain the status of the computation.
49Note that performing a revocation proof-of-work is deliberately VERY expensive.
50Depending on your CPU, the calculation can take days or weeks.
