Both a revoked and an expired certificate indicate a problem with the certificate's validity. An **expired certificate** simply doesn't have the validity period it was issued for anymore. A **revoked certificate** has been explicitly invalidated by the CA, usually due to security concerns or the website owner removing it. The error message often differs, but the underlying issue is related to the certificate's status.
