Information on revoking certificates via sign-me and the Certificate Service Manager (CSM)

• Certificates which are used in sign-me must also be revoked via the sign-me portal: https://www.sign-me.de. 
• Certificates which were created using the Certificate Service Manager (CSM) should also be revoked using the CSM. To do this, contact the operator authorized for your company. Alternatively, you can request revocation in writing.
