Challenges and Limitations

1. Delta Updates: Rather than downloading the entire list, clients request only changes since their last sync.
2. Privacy Preservation: Using blinded queries or Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), a relying party can verify revocation status without revealing which identity they are checking.
3. Decentralized Resilience: Many modern IdentityCRL implementations are anchored to distributed ledgers (blockchains), making it impossible for a central authority to suppress or alter revocation history.
