{{unreferenced|date=February 2012}}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. See also {{crypto-stub}} 1 : Cryptographic protocols |
