A certificate lookup returns one of four possible statuses.
The certificate is legitimate and currently valid. The named entity passed assessment and remains in good standing as of the last monitoring cycle.
The certificate has been permanently cancelled. The named entity no longer holds a valid credential. Exercise appropriate caution.
The certificate was legitimately issued but has passed its validity period and has not been renewed. It is no longer current. The named entity must undergo a new assessment to reinstate certification.
