Criticality
PKIX requires that this extension be critical if it exists.
Discussion
The Delta CRL Indicator extension identifies a delta-CRL. The use of delta-CRLs
allows changes to be added to the local database while ignoring unchanged
information that is already in the local database. This can significantly improve
processing time for applications that store revocation information in a format other
than the CRL structure.
This extension is used only with delta-CRLs, which are not supported by
Certificate Management System.
