Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP): A protocol used to check the revocation status of digital certificates. It allows a relying party, such as a web server, to verify the status of a certificate in real-time without relying on a local cache of revocation information. Examples of OCSP responders include certificate authorities and OCSP servers.
