2. Impersonation: A revoked certificate can be used by an attacker to impersonate a legitimate entity, potentially leading to phishing, identity theft, or other malicious activities.

1. CRL publication: The registry publishes the CRL, which contains a list of revoked certificates, along with their serial numbers and revocation dates.

3. Validation: When a relying party receives a certificate, it checks the Identity CRL Registry to verify that the certificate has not been revoked.
