Repository / Certificate Revocation List

Hongkong Post Repository

"Repository", as defined under the Electronic Transactions Ordinance, means an information system for storing and retrieving certificates and other information relevant to certificates. Hongkong Post maintains a repository that contains a list of accepted certificates (including e-Cert and Bank-Cert) issued under the Certification Practice Statement (CPS), together with the current certificate revocation list. Hongkong Post promptly publishes each certificate in the repository following receipt of the Applicant's confirmation of acceptance of the certificate.

Certification Revocation List (CRL) (supported by "Hongkong Post e-Cert CA 1" root certificate)

Hongkong Post updates and publishes the following Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) containing information of suspended or revoked e-Certs and Bank-Certs 3 times daily at 09:15, 14:15 and 19:00 Hong Kong Time (i.e. 01:15, 06:15 and 11:00 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT or UTC)):-

  1. Partitioned CRLs that contain Information of suspended or revoked certificates in groups. Each of the partitioned CRLs is available for public access at a location (URL) specified in the "CRL Distribution Points" field of each certificate issued. For e-Cert (Personal), the URL is in the form of http://crl1.hongkongpost.gov.hk/crl/eCertCA1CRL1_<xxxxx>.crl, where <xxxxx> is a string of five alphanumeric characters. For other types of e-Cert and Bank-Cert, the URL is http://crl1.hongkongpost.gov.hk/crl/eCertCA1CRL2.crl.

Under normal circumstances, Hongkong Post will publish the latest CRL as soon as possible after the update time. Hongkong Post may need to change the above updating and publishing schedule of the e-Cert CRL without prior notice if such changes are considered to be necessary under unforeseeable circumstances.

To view the CRL profile, please see Appendix C of the e-Cert CPS or Bank-Cert CPS.
