Online Certificate Status Protocol — OpenSSL Certificate

The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is a mechanism for determining whether or not a server certificate has been revoked, and OCSP Stapling is a special form of this in which the server, such as httpd and mod_ssl, maintains current OCSP responses for its certificates and sends them to clients which communicate with the server.

The server includes the cached OCSP response along with (or “stapled to”) its certificate in its HTTPS responses to web browsers. 3. OCSP Stapling on Nginx and Apache webserver - MyBlueLinux.COM
