Purpose of an OCSP Server | Validation Authority
Validation - Certificate status - Real-time
The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) server aka Validation Authority is an essential tool for verifying the revocation status of X.509 digital certificates. By checking the revocation status of a certificate, one can ensure that the certificate is still valid and can be trusted.
The use of OCSP servers reduces the overheads associated with traditional Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and provides a more efficient and scalable method for certificate validation. Selecting the right OCSP server is hence a crucial step in your digital transformation journey providing timely access to critical business services.
