Frequently Asked Questions
A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is an encoded block of text generated on the server where an SSL/TLS certificate will be installed. It contains information about the applicant (Common Name, Organization, Country) and the public key that will be embedded into the issued SSL certificate. The corresponding private key is created at the same time and kept secret on the server.
No. All parsing and decoding are performed 100% locally in your browser using JavaScript and the Web Crypto API. Your CSR contents, domain names, public keys, and organization details never leave your device.
No. A CSR is an unsigned application for a certificate. This tool inspects the internal ASN.1 structure, decodes the public key, verifies syntax integrity, and extracts requested extensions. Verification of CA trust occurs only after a Certificate Authority issues the final signed X.509 certificate.
A CSR is an unissued request containing your public key and domain identity details. An SSL/TLS Certificate is the final document issued and digitally signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) after verifying your domain ownership and organizational identity.
Subject Alternative Names (SANs) allow a single SSL/TLS certificate to secure multiple domain names (e.g., example.com, www.example.com, api.example.com, and subdomains). SAN entries in a CSR inform the Certificate Authority of all additional hostname hostnames requested for coverage.
The CSR Decoder supports standard PEM text (with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- headers), raw Base64 encoded text without headers, and binary DER encoded files (.csr, .pem, .der, .txt).
