The Lightweight Online Certificate Status Protocol Profile for High-Volume Environments
RFC 5019, “The Lightweight Online Certificate Status Protocol Profile for High-Volume Environments”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2007 by A. Deacon, R. Hurst. It has since been updated by RFC 8996. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification defines a profile of the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) that addresses the scalability issues inherent when using OCSP in large scale (high volume) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) environments and/or in PKI environments that require a lightweight solution to minimize communication bandwidth and client-side processing. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
