16.4 Technical Reference
The following section contains additional technical information about the features described in this
chapter.
OCSP
OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) allows an application or device to check whether a certificate
is valid. With OCSP the Zyxel Device checks the status of individual certificates instead of downloading a
Certificate Revocation List (CRL). OCSP has two main advantages over a CRL. The first is real-time status
information. The second is a reduction in network traffic since the Zyxel Device only gets information on
the certificates that it needs to verify, not a huge list. When the Zyxel Device requests certificate status
information, the OCSP server returns a “expired”, “current” or “unknown” response.
