@item ARL
The @emph{Authority Revocation List} is technical identical to a
@acronym{CRL} but used for @acronym{CA}s and not for end user
certificates.
@item CRL
The @emph{Certificate Revocation List} is a list containing
certificates revoked by the issuer.
@item CSR
The @emph{Certificate Signing Request} is a message send to a CA to
ask them to issue a new certificate. The data format of such a signing
request is called PCKS#10.
@item Keygrip
This term is used by GnuPG to describe a 20 byte hash value used
to identify a certain key without referencing to a concrete protocol.
It is used internally to access a private key. Usually it is shown and
entered as a 40 character hexadecimal formatted string.
@item OCSP
The @emph{Online Certificate Status Protocol} is used as an
alternative to a @acronym{CRL}. It is described in @code{RFC 2560}.
@item PSE
The @emph{Personal Security Environment} describes a database to
store private keys. This is either a smartcard or a collection of files
on a disk; the latter is often called a Soft-PSE.
