Description: Revoke refers to the action of withdrawing a permission or access right previously granted to a user, application, or system. This concept is fundamental in security management and access control in computing environments, where it is crucial to ensure that only authorized entities can access specific resources. Revocation can be applied at different levels, from file permissions in operating systems to access rights in applications and cloud services. The ability to revoke permissions is essential for maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of information, as well as for complying with privacy and data protection regulations. In a broader context, revocation can also refer to the annulment of digital certificates in public key infrastructures, ensuring that compromised certificates are not used to access sensitive resources.
