ocsp-checker 1.1.0

Library used to check the OCSP revocation status for a x509 digital certificate.

OCSP-Requester

Overview

OCSP-Requester is a python package based on Alban Diquet's nassl wrapper and the Python Cryptographic Authority's cryptography package. Relying on a web browser to check the revocation status of a x509 digital certificate has been broken from the beginning, and validating certificates outside of the web browser is a manual process. OCSP-Requester aims to solve this by providing an automated means to check the OCSP revocation status for a x509 digital certificate.

Pre-requisites

Python - Python 3.7 (64-bit) and above.

Installation

pip install ocsp-checker

Usage

>>> from ocspchecker import ocspchecker
>>> ocsp_request = ocspchecker.get_ocsp_status("github.com")

Sample Output
