Stands for: Online Certificate Status Protocol

A protocol to check in real time whether a certificate has been revoked.

Online Certificate Status Protocol (RFC 6960) lets a client ask a responder whether a certificate is still valid, an alternative to downloading large revocation lists. OCSP stapling lets the server present the proof itself to avoid a separate round trip.
