6960
RFC 6960 defines the Online Certificate Status Protocol.

Where 6960 fits
Why 6960 is special
It lets a browser ask whether a certificate has been revoked, and its privacy cost is that the certificate authority learns which sites you visit.
Same number, different meanings
How 6960 is understood across different contexts — never implying one meaning because of another.
- Mathematics
It lets a browser ask whether a certificate has been revoked, and its privacy cost is that the certificate authority learns which sites you visit.
- Technology & computing
RFC 6960 specifies OCSP for real-time certificate status queries. OCSP stapling was introduced so the server rather than the client fetches the response, removing the direct disclosure.
- Science
NGC 6960 is the western portion of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant, containing the filament known as the Witch's Broom.

Read as powers of two: 4,096 + 2,048 + 512 + 256 + 32 + 16 = 6,960.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
6 lotuses, 9 coils of rope, 6 hobbles
6 × 1,000 + 9 × 100 + 6 × 10 = 6,960. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.
