Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is a protocol used for validation of x509 certificates in a PKI system. Most OCSP implementations ingest certificate revocation lists (CRLs) from Certificate Authorities (CAs), create an internally signed database called a proof set, and then produce OCSP using the proofs.
