Specification
WHAT IS
X.509 CERTIFICATE DECODER & INSPECTOR?
The X.509 Certificate Decoder parses and inspects PEM-formatted SSL/TLS certificates completely inside browser memory using WebCrypto and a client-side ASN.1 parser. Inspect Common Names (CN), Organizations, Subject Alternative Names (SANs), validity periods, public key algorithms, and SHA-256 fingerprints with zero network calls.
When to use it
- →Inspecting SSL/TLS certificate validity windows and remaining days before expiration
- →Checking Subject Alternative Names (SANs) to verify domain and subdomain coverage
- →Verifying certificate issuers, Distinguished Names, and intermediate CA chains
- →Generating SHA-256 and SHA-1 certificate fingerprints for pinning and validation
Key Features
- ·Decodes standard PEM format X.509 certificates (SSL/TLS, CSR, and CA)
- ·Validity countdown with days remaining and expired/not-yet-valid status flags
- ·Detailed Subject and Issuer Distinguished Name extraction (CN, O, OU, C, ST, L)
- ·Subject Alternative Name (SAN) DNS and IP address extraction
- ·Public key type (RSA bit length, ECDSA curves) and signature algorithm identification
- ·Live SHA-256 and SHA-1 cryptographic fingerprint calculation via WebCrypto
- ·100% private and runs locally — certificates and keys never leave your machine
Privacy & Security Guarantee
WHY IN-BROWSER PROCESSING MATTERS FOR DEVELOPERS
Many online formatters and decoders send your code, JSON payloads, auth tokens, and database schemas to backend servers where they can be cached, logged, or intercepted. ToolBox4Devs guarantees that all processing for X.509 Certificate Decoder & Inspector runs entirely in your browser's JavaScript V8 engine.
