OCSP request with multiple certificate from different CA
--------------

The RFC has the possibility to send multiple certificate serial number into

OCSP request. It is not defined that allowed or not, to put two certificate

serial number, from different CA.



   Request         ::=     SEQUENCE {

       reqCert                     CertID,

       singleRequestExtensions     [0] EXPLICIT Extensions OPTIONAL }



In the response, there is only one signature field.



For example:

1. You have three certificate, for easy to imagine, a root, a subordinate CA

and end user.

2. You create an OCSP request of them, included the serial numbers into one

request.

3. You get a response, but has only one signature on it.



What is the acceptable for this?

1. Report error for the multiple request.

2. Sign with one of the OCSP responders?

a. You could have OCSP responder for the Root, Which can tell, Subordinate is

OK

b. You could have OCSP responder for the subordinate, Which can tell, enduser

certificate is OK.

Several serial numbers in a request do not comply to OCSP responders that 
follow RFC5019 so I'll suggest to use a strategy to split it into several 
requests.
