OCSP
OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) allows an application or device to check whether a
certificate is valid. With OCSP the NWA/WAC checks the status of individual certificates instead of
downloading a Certificate Revocation List (CRL). OCSP has two main advantages over a CRL. The
first is real-time status information. The second is a reduction in network traffic since the NWA/WAC
only gets information on the certificates that it needs to verify, not a huge list. When the NWA/WAC
requests certificate status information, the OCSP server returns a “expired”, “current” or “unknown”
response.
