About the Common Assessment Method for Standards and Specifications (CAMSS) 

CAMSS is the European guide for assessing and selecting standards and specifications for an eGovernment project, a reference when building an architecture and an enabler for justifying the choice of standards and specifications in terms of interoperability needs and requirements. It is fully aligned with the European Standardisation Regulation 1025/2012. 

CAMSS Assessment 

CAMSS Assessment is a solution which corresponds to the output of an assessment of a standard, technical specification or standard developing/setting organisation using the CAMSS Assessment EIF Scenario. Each assessment produced is considered a CAMSS Assessment once it is approved by the CAMSS Team. Any approved assessment is published by the CAMSS Team and publicly available in Joinup. 

CAMSS Assessment of X.509 Internet Public Key Infrastructure - Online Certificate Status Protocol  (OCSP) 8.0

Assessment of X.509 Internet Public Key Infrastructure - Online Certificate Status Protocol  (OCSP) 8.0 with the Common assessment method for standards and technical specifications (CAMSS). 

The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) defines a protocol useful in determining the current status of a digital certificate without requiring CRLs (certificate revocation list).  OCSP may be used to meet some of the operational requirements of providing more timely revocation information than is possible with the usual CRL mechanism and may also be used to obtain additional status information. Two examples are high value funds transfers or large stock trades.

The specification has been developed and maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

The assessment has been performed with the CAMSS Assessment EIF Scenario v5.0.0.
