The server, called an OCSP responder, receives an updated CRL periodically from the CA that issues the certificates to be verified. You can configure Certificate Manager to submit a status request for a certificate to the OCSP responder, and the OCSP responder confirms whether the certificate is valid.

<p>One way to combat this threat is for Certificate Manager to check a certificate revocation list (CRL) as part of the verification process (see <a href="#Managing_CRLs">Managing CRLs</a>, below). Typically, you download a CRL to your browser by clicking a link. If a CRL is present, Certificate Manager checks each certificate issued by the same CA against the list. The reliability of CRLs is subject to the frequency with which they are both updated by a server and checked by a client, and their size can sometimes cause delays in the verification process that may not be acceptable to some people.
<p>Another way to combat this threat is to use a special server that supports the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). Such a server can answer client queries about individual certificates (see <a href="#Configuring_Certificate_Manager_for_OCSP">Configuring Certificate Manager for OCSP</a>, below). The server, called an OCSP responder, receives an updated CRL periodically from the CA that issues the certificates to be verified. You can configure Certificate Manager to submit a status request for a certificate to the OCSP responder, and the OCSP responder confirms whether the certificate is valid.
