What is a .key file?
A .key file holds a private key, usually PEM-encoded in PKCS#8 (BEGIN PRIVATE KEY) or a key-type-specific format. It is the secret half of a TLS or SSH identity and must normally be protected — the examples here are published, sample-only keys that must never be used in production.
How to use this file
Use an example .key to test PEM key parsers, PKCS#8 decoders, and key-format converters (for example PEM to DER or OpenSSH). These are deliberately published sample keys — for parser testing only, never for real use.

- csrCertificate Signing Request (CSR)A PKCS#10 certificate signing request (PEM) with the subject and SAN, self-signed by the RSA key to prove key possession — for testing CSR parsers and certificate-authority intake flows.
- keyEd25519 Private Key (PEM)An Ed25519 private key in PKCS#8 PEM, derived from a fixed seed — a published, sample-only modern elliptic-curve key for testing PEM parsers and Ed25519 tooling. Never use it for real.
- htpasswdhtpasswd (HTTP Basic Auth)An Apache/nginx .htpasswd file with two users hashed using the {SHA} scheme (Base64 SHA-1) — the sample passwords are documented in the file, for testing Basic-Auth credential parsers and hash identification.
- pubSSH Public Key (Ed25519)An OpenSSH-format Ed25519 public key (the shareable half of the key pair) — a single line of algorithm, Base64 key blob, and comment, for testing SSH public-key parsers and authorized_keys tooling.
- crtX.509 Certificate (.crt)The same self-signed certificate under the conventional .crt extension (PEM-encoded) — for testing trust-store importers and tools that key off the .crt extension. Sample only.
- derX.509 Certificate (DER)The binary DER encoding of the same certificate — for testing ASN.1/DER parsers, Java keystores, and DER-to-PEM converters. Published sample certificate, not a real identity.
