OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) is a method of checking the
revocation status of certificates. It is specified in :rfc:`6960`, as well
as other obsoleted RFCs.


Loading Requests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. function:: load_der_ocsp_request(data)

    .. versionadded:: 2.4

    Deserialize an OCSP request from DER encoded data.

    :param bytes data: The DER encoded OCSP request data.

    :returns: An instance of :class:`~cryptography.x509.ocsp.OCSPRequest`.

Creating Requests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: OCSPRequestBuilder

    .. versionadded:: 2.4

    objects.


    .. method:: add_certificate(cert, issuer, algorithm)

        Adds a request using a certificate, issuer certificate, and hash
        algorithm. This can only be called once.

        :param cert: The :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate` whose validity
            is being checked.

        :param issuer: The issuer :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate` of
