SSL Tools – Certificate Decoder and Certificate Checker

The following SSL tools are provided for your convenience troubleshooting and debugging SSL certificates, their installation, and other aspects of certificate management.

Certificate Decoder

Decode SSL certificates with an online SSL Certificate Decoder that can be used to parse your PEM encoded SSL certificate. Each component of the X509 SSL Certificate will have a heading linked to the associated RFC-5280 section.

PKCS7 Decoder

Decoder your PEM encoded PKCS7 certificate bundle for the validity date, key size and algorithm, and more. Each component of the X509 SSL Certificate will have a heading linked to the associated RFC-5280 section.

CRL Decoder

Decode CRLs (Certificate Revocation List) to parse a pem encoded CRL and display the list of revoked certificates.

CSR Decoder

CSR Decoder (Certificate Signing Request) that will parse a pem encoded CSR and display it’s attributes.

SSL Checker

Check your SSL certificate installation with our SSL Checker tool. The tool will inspect the certificate installed at the given URL and display its certificate data.

Local Decoding

To decode the certificate on your local machine with openssl, head over to our article on openssl view certificate post for details on how to parse and view each section of a certificate locally.

This purpose of this certificate decoder online is to parse and show in detail each part of your X509 SSL certificate according to RFC-5280.

For any other OpenSSL commands for decoding see our OpenSSL posts.

Please email us at info@misterpki.com if you find any bugs or would like to see a feature not yet supported.
