Carol's OCSP responder confirms that Alice's certificate is still OK, and returns a signed, successful 'OCSP response' to Bob. Bob cryptographically verifies Carol's signed response. Bob has stored Carol's public key some time before this transaction. Bob uses Carol's public key to verify Carol's response. Bob completes the transaction with Alice.
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]
Browsers and other relying parties might use CRLs, or might use alternate certificate revocation technologies (such as OCSP) [4] [5] or CRLSets (a dataset derived from CRLs [6]) to check certificate revocation status. Note that OCSP is falling out of favor due to privacy and performance concerns [7] [8] [9]. Subscribers and other parties can ...
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]
In public key infrastructure, a validation authority (VA) is an entity that provides a service used to verify the validity or revocation status of a digital certificate per the mechanisms described in the X.509 standard and RFC 5280 (page 69).

This includes OCSP responses, CRLs, and delta CRLs, which are critical for checking the current status of certificates. [1] The DPV server must have access to the certificate that needs validation. If the certificate is not provided in the request, the server must obtain it and verify that it matches the reference provided by the client.
