  2. Online Certificate Status Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Certificate_Status...

    The "request/response" nature of these messages leads to OCSP servers being termed OCSP responders. Some web browsers (e.g., Firefox [4]) use OCSP to validate HTTPS certificates, while others have disabled it. [5] [6] Most OCSP revocation statuses on the Internet disappear soon after certificate expiration. [7]

  3. OCSP stapling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCSP_stapling

    OCSP stapling is designed to reduce the cost of an OCSP validation, both for the client and the OCSP responder, especially for large sites serving many simultaneous users. However, OCSP stapling supports only one OCSP response at a time, which is insufficient for certificate chains with intermediate CA certs. [26] [27]

  4. Certificate revocation list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_revocation_list

    An alternative to using CRLs is the certificate validation protocol known as Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). OCSP has the primary benefit of requiring less network bandwidth, enabling real-time and near real-time status checks for high volume or high-value operations.

  5. Certificate revocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_revocation

    The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) allows clients to interactively ask a server (an OCSP responder) about a certificate's status, receiving a response that is cryptographically authenticated by the issuing CA. [29] It was designed to address issues with CRLs. [30] A typical OCSP response is less than 1 kB. [31]

  6. Validation authority - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Validation_authority

    It must be continuously updated with current CRL information from a certificate authority which issued the certificates contained within the CRL. While this is a potentially labor-intensive process, the use of a dedicated validation authority allows for dynamic validation of certificates issued by an offline root certificate authority. While ...

  7. Certificate Transparency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_Transparency

    Certificates that support certificate transparency must include one or more signed certificate timestamps (SCTs), which is a promise from a log operator to include the certificate in their log within a maximum merge delay (MMD). [4] [3] At some point within the maximum merge delay, the log operator adds the certificate to their log.

  8. SCVP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCVP

    The SCVP server's response contains a set of certificates making up a valid path between the certificate in question and one of the trusted certificates. The response may also contain proof of revocation status, such as OCSP responses, for the certificates in the path. Once a certification path has been constructed, it needs to be validated.

  9. Certificate authority - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority

    The certificate is also a confirmation or validation by the CA that the public key contained in the certificate belongs to the person, organization, server or other entity noted in the certificate. A CA's obligation in such schemes is to verify an applicant's credentials, so that users and relying parties can trust the information in the issued ...
