Delegated Path Validation

Short description: Public-key-certificate-validation-involved-work-offloading method to trusted server

Delegated Path Validation (DPV) is a method for offloading to a trusted server the work involved in validating a public key certificate.

Combining certificate information supplied by the DPV client with certificate path and revocation status information obtained by itself, a DPV server is able to apply complex validation policies that are prohibitive for each client to perform.

The requirements for DPV are described in RFC 3379.
