OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) is a method of checking the
revocation status of certificates. It is specified in :rfc:`6960`, as well
as other obsoleted RFCs.


Loading Requests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. function:: load_der_ocsp_request(data)

    .. versionadded:: 2.4

    :param bytes data: The DER encoded OCSP request data.

    :returns: An instance of :class:`~cryptography.x509.ocsp.OCSPRequest`.

    .. doctest::

        >>> from cryptography.x509 import ocsp

Creating Requests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: OCSPRequestBuilder

    .. versionadded:: 2.4

    This class is used to create :class:`~cryptography.x509.ocsp.OCSPRequest`
    objects.


    .. method:: add_certificate(cert, issuer, algorithm)

        Adds a request using a certificate, issuer certificate, and hash
        algorithm. This can only be called once.

        :param cert: The :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate` whose validity
            is being checked.

        :param issuer: The issuer :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate` of
            the certificate that is being checked.

        :param algorithm: A
            :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.hashes.HashAlgorithm`
            instance. For OCSP only

        :type: An instance of a
            :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.hashes.Hash`

    .. attribute:: serial_number

        :type: int

        The serial number of the certificate to check.

    .. method:: public_bytes(encoding)

        :param encoding: The encoding to use. Only
            :attr:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.Encoding.DER`
            is supported.

        :return bytes: The serialized OCSP request.

.. class:: OCSPResponse

    .. versionadded:: 2.4

    An ``OCSPResponse`` is the data provided by an OCSP responder in response
    to an ``OCSPRequest``.

    .. attribute:: response_status

        :type: :class:`~cryptography.x509.ocsp.OCSPResponseStatus`

        The status of the response.

    .. attribute:: signature_algorithm_oid

        :type: :class:`~cryptography.x509.ObjectIdentifier`

        Returns the object identifier of the signature algorithm used
        to sign the response. This will be one of the OIDs from
        :class:`~cryptography.x509.oid.SignatureAlgorithmOID`.

    .. attribute:: signature

        :type: bytes

        The signature bytes.

    .. attribute:: tbs_response_bytes

        :type: bytes

        data may be used to validate the signature on the OCSP response.

    .. attribute:: certificates

        :type: list

        A list of zero or more :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate` objects
        used to help build a chain to verify the OCSP response. This situation
        occurs when the OCSP responder uses a delegate certificate.

    .. attribute:: responder_key_hash

        :type: bytes or None

        The responder's key hash or ``None`` if the response has a
        ``responder_name``.

        being indicated is known by the responder to have been correct.

    .. attribute:: next_update

        :type: :class:`datetime.datetime`

        A naïve datetime representing the time when newer information will
        be available.
