Check signature revocation status API

Compare certificate serials to caller-supplied revocation entries only. Live commercial OCSP/CRL networks are not queried.

The Check signature revocation status operation is part of the Electronic Signature & Document Trust API on BRAINIAC.software. Compare certificate serials to caller-supplied revocation entries only. Live commercial OCSP/CRL networks are not queried. It is exposed as POST /api/v1/document-trust/signature-revocation-status-check and priced at $0.03 USDC on Base. Payment uses the x402 exact scheme: an unpaid call returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements; after paying the exact USDC amount, retry the same request with a payment-signature header and Idempotency-Key. No account and no API key are required. Data sources for this product: Caller-supplied PDF bytes, certificates, signers, revocations, and detached signatures Limitations: No commercial electronic-signature platform is used and no API key is required. Technical signature, hash, certificate, and timestamp checks are not a determination of legal enforceability. Full CMS/PKCS#7 verification is reported only when detached signature material is supplied, or ByteRange digests match caller expectations. Revocation is evaluated only against caller-supplied entries. Live commercial OCSP/CRL networks are not queried. Missing signature fields, certificates, and digests are not invented. Outputs are compliance prechecks, drafts, or data lookups for human review. They are not official determinations, legal advice, identity confirmation, or certified filings. Related operations in this group include Verify PDF digital signatures, Validate signature certificate chains, Validate signature timestamps, Detect signed-document tampering.
