SSL/TLS Certificate & ASN.1 X.509 Parser

Parse PEM and ASN.1 DER encoded X.509 SSL/TLS certificates, verify Subject Alternative Names (SAN), calculate SHA-256 fingerprints, and inspect validity expiration countdowns directly in browser memory.

Quick Answer & Summary

The SSL/TLS Certificate & ASN.1 X.509 Parser is a fast, accurate Security Tools utility designed to parse pem and asn.1 der encoded x.509 ssl/tls certificates, verify subject alternative names (san), calculate sha-256 fingerprints, and inspect validity expiration countdowns directly in browser memory. entirely in your browser with zero server data storage.

SSL/TLS Certificate & ASN.1 X.509 Parser

Parse PEM and ASN.1 DER encoded X.509 SSL/TLS certificates, verify Subject Alternative Names (SAN), calculate SHA-256 fingerprints, and inspect validity expiration countdowns.

ITU-T X.509 & ASN.1 DER Certificate Architecture

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) relies on X.509 certificates to authenticate remote web servers and secure encrypted HTTPS connections. Understanding how certificates are constructed helps diagnose trust chain errors, invalid SAN mismatches, and unexpected expirations.

Key X.509 Certificate Extensions & Fields

  • TBSCertificate (To-Be-Signed): The core ASN.1 sequence containing serial number, validity dates, subject DN, issuer DN, and Subject Public Key Info (SPKI).
  • Subject Alternative Name (SAN - OID 2.5.29.17): Specifies all hostnames, IP addresses, and wildcard domains authorized to present this certificate.
  • Key Usage (OID 2.5.29.15): Restricts the cryptographic purposes of the public key (e.g. Digital Signature, Key Encipherment).
  • Fingerprints / Thumbprints: Cryptographic digests (SHA-256 / SHA-1) calculated over the entire DER-encoded certificate bytes for fast pinning and comparison.

How to Use SSL/TLS Certificate & ASN.1 X.509 Parser

1

Input PEM Certificate

Paste your PEM certificate text (with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- headers) or upload a .crt, .pem, or .cer file.

2

Inspect Validity Countdown

Check whether the certificate is currently active, expired, or approaching its renewal deadline.

3

Review Subject & Issuer

Verify the Common Name (CN), Organization (O), and Certificate Authority (CA) issuer details.

4

Extract SANs & Fingerprints

Inspect all Subject Alternative Name DNS patterns and copy the SHA-256 and SHA-1 certificate thumbprints.
