The PKI Resource Query Protocol (PRQP) is an Internet protocol used for obtaining information about services associated with a X.509 Certification Authority. It is described in a draft document from the PKIX working group and is on the Experimental track. It was created by Massimiliano Pala to solve Interoperability and Usabilities issues among PKIs, specifically addressing certain problems associated with finding services and data repositories associated with a CA. Messages communicated via PRQP are encoded in ASN.1 and are usually communicated over HTTP.

Famous quotes containing the words query and/or resource:
“Such condition of suspended judgment indeed, in its more genial development and under felicitous culture, is but the expectation, the receptivity, of the faithful scholar, determined not to foreclose what is still a question—the “philosophic temper,” in short, for which a survival of query will be still the salt of truth, even in the most absolutely ascertained knowledge.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
