What you need to know about OCSP
ATSC 3.0 introduced OCSP as a critical service that impacts broadcast up-time. In the event of an Internet outage, Internet DDoS attack, or OCSP service outage a 7-day countdown starts [2] – after 7 days the broadcast will no longer be ATSC 3.0 compliant and will fail receiver security checks.
Choosing a Certificate Authority with the right OCSP solution is critical.
The ATSC 3 Certificate Authority provides three advanced solutions:
Patent pending at-station hardware solution eliminates the dependency on the Internet and external OCSP servers.
Thousands of cloud edge node OCSP responders always available across 30+ data centers in the USA.
Emergency fallback to conventional heavy servers maintained across redundant data centers in the event of a cloud-provider outage.
No third-party contract required
Certificates from the ATSC 3 Certificate Authority meet all ATSC 3.0 requirements. You do not need to sign a contact with the A3SA, or any other party, to be compliant with ATSC 3.0 security requirements.
No vendor lock in
You are not locked into a Certificate Authority. A certificate is good for 1-2 years but you can switch provider at any time – you don’t need to wait for your certificates to expire. Just be sure your new provider has an OCSP solution that will keep you on air.
[1] The certificate price will be inflation adjusted from a 2026 $100 reference. ATSC 3.0 signaling signing requires 2 certificates. Optional services such as at-station OCSP adds an additional cost.
[2] 7 days is the length of time an OCSP response is typically configured to be valid for. The ATSC A/360 specification requires 10 days or less.
