Abstract
In one implementation, software components include an identity of a revocation authority. Prior to loading of the software in a given platform, the revocation authority is checked for any revocation messages. The revocation authority creates software component specific messages for any software components to be revoked, rather than using certificate revocation or individual licenses. The messages include mitigation information, such as instructions for automatically configuring already installed software without requiring an update or change in code.
