+# OCSP Stapling Example with wolfSSL
+
+This directory contains a standalone example demonstrating OCSP stapling with dynamic certificate selection and verification. Both a client and a server are provided, along with the necessary certificates and a Makefile for building the example. The certificates are taken from the wolfSSL test suite.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+- `ocsp-server.c` — Example TLS server with OCSP stapling support.
+- `ocsp-client.c` — Example TLS client that verifies OCSP staples.
+- `Makefile` — Build instructions for the example programs.
+- `client-certs/` — CA and intermediate certificates for client verification.
+- `server-certs/` — Server certificate and private key.
+- `responder-certs/` — OCSP responder certificate, key, and index file.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- wolfSSL library installed (headers and libraries in `/usr/local` by default).
+- OpenSSL (for running a local OCSP responder).
+- GNU Make and GCC.
+
+## Building
+
+To build both the server and client, simply run:
+
+```sh
+make
+```
+
+This will produce two binaries: `ocsp-server` and `ocsp-client`.
+
+## Running the Example
+
+### 1. Start the OCSP Responder
+
+From the `stapling` directory, run:
+
+```sh
+make responder
+```
+
+### 2. Start the Server
+
+```sh
+./ocsp-server
+```
+
+### 3. Run the Client
+
+In a separate terminal, run either:
+
+```sh
+./ocsp-client --tls12
+```
+or
+```sh
+./ocsp-client --tls13
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- The server listens on `127.0.0.1:11111`.
+- The OCSP responder listens on `127.0.0.1:22221`.
+- Certificates are pre-generated for demonstration purposes.
+- The client and server demonstrate both automatic and manual OCSP staple verification.
