Server-Based Certificate Validation Protocol
RFC 5055, “Server-Based Certificate Validation Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2007 by T. Freeman, R. Housley, A. Malpani, D. Cooper, W. Polk. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Server-Based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP) allows a client to delegate certification path construction and certification path validation to a server. The path construction or validation (e.g., making sure that none of the certificates in the path are revoked) is performed according to a validation policy, which contains one or more trust anchors. It allows simplification of client implementations and use of a set of predefined validation policies. [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.
