Questions

Common questions

What information does this CSR decoder show?

Common Name, Organization, Organizational Unit, Subject Alternative Names, key algorithm and size, and the signature algorithm.

Is my CSR uploaded anywhere?

No — decoding happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript.

Why would I need to decode a CSR?

To verify the subject and SANs are correct before submitting to a CA, or to check a CSR you received from someone else.
