OpenCA OCSPD Project Overview:
==============================

     The OpenCA OCSPD project is aimed to develop a robust and easy-to-install
     OCSP daemon. The server is developed as a stand-alone application and can
     be integrated into many different PKI solutions as it does not depend on
     specific database scheme. Furthermore it can be used as a responder for
     multiple CAs.

     The OCSP Responder is an rfc2560 compliant OCSPD responder. The purpose of
     such a server is to provide an on-line tool to verify the status of a
     certificate (such as Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape7).

     The Responder was included into the main OpenCA distribution package. It is
     also possible to install the daemon as a stand-alone application, all you
     will need is a CRL (or access to an LDAP server where to get the CRL from).
