OCSPResponder

A .NET facility to create an OCSP Responder

What is this?

OCSPResponder is a library written in C# that enables you to easily create an OCSP Responder in .NET. All you need is to implement an interface for the CA/Authorized Responder. It follows the OCSP protocol defined in RFC 6960.

How do I use it?

.NET Core

0. Install OCSPResponder.AspNetCore via NuGet. This package contains OCSPResponder.Core as dependency.
1. Implement the IOcspResponderRepository interface for your CA.
2. Configure in your Dependency Injector to use the class OcspResponder for the interface IOcspResponder.
3. Configure in your Dependency Injector to use the class that you implemented for the interface IOcspResponderRepository.
4. Create a WebAPI Controller and call OcspResponder.Respond() passing the HttpRequest.ToOcspRequest().
5. Done! You've been configured your OCSP Responder.

Example

/Controllers/OcspController.cs

[Route("api/ocsp")]
public class OcspController : Controller
{
    [HttpGet]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Get(string encoded)
    {
        var ocspHttpRequest = await Request.ToOcspHttpRequest();
        var ocspHttpResponse =  await OcspResponder.Respond(ocspHttpRequest);
        return new OcspActionResult(ocspHttpResponse);
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Post()
    {
        var ocspHttpRequest = await Request.ToOcspHttpRequest();
        var ocspHttpResponse = await OcspResponder.Respond(ocspHttpRequest);
        return new OcspActionResult(ocspHttpResponse);
    }

    private IOcspResponder OcspResponder { get; }

    public OcspController(IOcspResponder ocspResponder)
    {
        OcspResponder = ocspResponder;
    }
}

.NET Framework

0. Install OCSPResponder.Core via NuGet.
1. Implement the IOcspResponderRepository interface for your CA.
2. Configure in your Dependency Injector to use the class OcspResponder for the interface IOcspResponder.
3. Configure in your Dependency Injector to use the class that you implemented for the interface IOcspResponderRepository.
4. Create a WebAPI Controller and call OcspResponder.Respond() passing the HttpRequestMessage.ToOcspHttpRequest().
5. Done! You've been configured your OCSP Responder.

Example

/Controllers/OcspController.cs

[RoutePrefix("api/ocsp")]
public class OcspController : Controller
{
    [Route("{encoded}"]
    public Task<HttpResponseMessage> Get(string encoded)
    {
        var ocspHttpResponse = await OcspResponder.Respond(Request.ToOcspHttpRequest());
        return ocspHttpResponse.toHttpResponseMessage();
    }
    
    [Route("")]
    public Task<HttpResponseMessage> Post()
    {
        var ocspHttpResponse = await OcspResponder.Respond(Request.ToOcspHttpRequest());
        return ocspHttpResponse.toHttpResponseMessage();
    }
    
    private IOcspResponder OcspResponder { get; }
    
    public OcspController(IOcspResponder ocspResponder)
    {
        OcspResponder = ocspResponder;
    }
}
