Digital certificate. Website. RFC 6960: OCSP. RFC 8954: OCSP Nonce Extension. The Online Certificate Status Protocol ( OCSP) is an Internet protocol used for obtaining the revocation status of an X.509 digital certificate. [2] It is described in RFC 6960 and is on the Internet standards track. It was created as an alternative to certificate ...
This reversible status can be used to note the temporary invalidity of the certificate (e.g., if the user is unsure if the private key has been lost). If, in this example, the private key was found and nobody had access to it, the status could be reinstated, and the certificate is valid again, thus removing the certificate from future CRLs.
A public key infrastructure ( PKI) is a set of roles, policies, hardware, software and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store and revoke digital certificates and manage public-key encryption. The purpose of a PKI is to facilitate the secure electronic transfer of information for a range of network activities such as e ...
Certificate revocation. In public key cryptography, a certificate may be revoked before it expires, which signals that it is no longer valid. Without revocation, an attacker could exploit such a compromised or misissued certificate until expiry. Hence, revocation is an important part of a public key infrastructure.
The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) stapling, formally known as the TLS Certificate Status Request extension, is a standard for checking the revocation status of X.509 digital certificates. [1] It allows the presenter of a certificate to bear the resource cost involved in providing Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses ...
The Automatic Certificate Management Environment ( ACME) protocol is a communications protocol for automating interactions between certificate authorities and their users' servers, allowing the automated deployment of public key infrastructure at very low cost. [1] [2] It was designed by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG) for their Let ...
Certificate signing request. In public key infrastructure (PKI) systems, a certificate signing request ( CSR or certification request) is a message sent from an applicant to a certificate authority of the public key infrastructure (PKI) in order to apply for a digital identity certificate. The CSR usually contains the public key for which the ...
