[Bro] Information on OCSP and CRL

[Johanna Amann]

To expand a bit on this...

there is a policy script to perform certificate validation, just load
policy/protocols/ssl/validate-certs.bro. Note that this uses plain OpenSSL
for validation and might not be able to validate a few cases which
browsers can validate.

For OCSP, the situation is a bit less optimal. The script that Vlad
mentioned performs OCSP validation, but _only_ in case that the OCSP
response is sent stapled in the TLS handshake - which is rather rare.

Outside of this, Bro currently does not support OCSP validatiob.

Also, can Bro NSM perform a OCSP request to a RA and check a certificate to determine if it is valid? If this is the case where in Bro NSM do you set the address for the RA or CRL responder?
