Please do not read these registry keys - you will almost certainly end
up using revoked certificates (e,.g. diginotar), and duplicating the
work of the existing system APIs but with added bugs.
Please read the following articles:
Certificate Status and Revocation Checking - TechNet Articles - Home - TechNet Wiki
<http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4954.certificate-status-and-revocation-checking.aspx>
How Certificate Revocation Works
<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ee619754(WS.10).aspx>
There is lots of information there about how this works for various
Windows versions.
