A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509) Working Group of
the IETF.
Title : OCSP Extensions
Author(s) : P. Hallam-Baker
Filename : draft-ietf-pkix-ocspx-00.txt
Pages : 16
Date : 13-Oct-99
The OCSP protocol [RFC2560] enables online validation of the reliability of a digital
certificate. RFC2560 defines a mandatory-to-implement mechanism supporting the
revocation status of the certificate and defines and optional extension mechanism to
support a richer set of semantics (e.g. full path validation by the OCSP server).
This document defines Internet-standard extensions to OCSP that enable a client to
delegate processing of certificate acceptance functions to a
trusted server. The client may control the degree to which delegation takes place. In
addition limited support is provided for delegating authorization decisions.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
