Revocation rules are a set of legal or policy guidelines that determine how and when a previously granted authority, permission, or certificate can be withdrawn or canceled. They are commonly used in contexts such as digital security (e.g., certificate revocation in SSL/TLS), legal licenses, or administrative permissions to ensure proper management and control over granted rights.
