Revoking Documents (OCSP)

You can also revoke a document using your own Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responder. Simply put, an OCSP responder would be a service that would respond with the revocation status of a certificate and the reason it was revoked.

Revocation type and location​

You would require a DID document with

  • revocation.type : OCSP_RESPONDER
  • revocation.location: https://ocsp-sandbox.openattestation.com

You should use your own OCSP responder if you have one deployed. Otherwise, you can demo this feature using the Open Attestation OCSP Responder
