ACCELERATION OF ONLINE CERTIFICATE STATUS CHECKING WITH AN INTERNET HINTING SERVICE

Abstract:

Examples for acceleration of online certificate status checking with an Internet hinting service are disclosed. For example, one method includes receiving, by a computing device from a hinting server, hint information comprising certificate information; receiving, from a remote computing device, a certificate in response to a request to establish secure communications with the remote computing device; and determining a validity of the certificate based on the certificate information.
