A major software vendor has released a beta version of their browser that will have automatic certificate revocation checking as a default option.
This new checking protocol will maximise the speed of checking the status of thawte certificates and will minimise the possibilities of online fraud as invalid certificates and companies will immediately be exposed to the end customer.
thawte has invested in a significant infrastructure to move from using the old Certificate Revocation List (CRL) to this new Online Certificate Status Protocol ( OCSP ), something not all CAs will be able to provide and support.
