The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) requires
server responses to be signed but does not specify a mechanism for
selecting the signature algorithm to be used. This may lead to
avoidable interoperability failures in contexts where multiple
signature algorithms are in use. This document specifies rules for
server signature algorithm selection and an extension that allows a
client to advise a server that specific signature algorithms are
supported. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
This document is a product of the Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509) Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
