cspd.

Clip Studio Paint Download.

By any chance, do you have Clip Studio Paint installed on your Mac?

In order to gain access to all of Clip Studio Paint's cloud tools and brushes, when you initialiy launch the app, it will try and access the Clip Studio Cloud Server to start downloading the extra free tools and brushes to choose from to download from its Cloud servers to the app.

Did you mean ocspd, the built in Certificate cacher?




ocspd(1) BSD General Commands Manual ocspd(1)



NAME

ocspd -- OCSP and CRL Daemon



SYNOPSIS

ocspd



DESCRIPTION

ocspd performs caching and network fetching of Certificate Revocation

Lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses. It

is used by Security.framework during certificate verification. Secu-

rity.framework communicates with ocspd via a private RPC interface. When

Security.framework determines that a CRL is needed, or that it needs to

perform an OCSP transaction, it performs an RPC to ocspd which then exam-

ines its cache to see if the appropriate CRL or OCSP response exists and

is still valid. If so, that entity is returned to Security.framework. If

no entry is found in cache, ocspd obtains it from the network, saving the

result in cache before returning it to Security.framework.
