X.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.

What is a .crt file?
A .crt file holds an X.509 certificate, most often PEM-encoded (Base64 text) though sometimes DER binary. The extension is a convention for the public certificate half of a TLS identity, as opposed to the private .key file. It carries the subject, issuer, validity window, public key, and signature.
How to use this file
Use an example .crt to test certificate parsers, trust-store importers, and TLS tooling, or as input for .crt-to-.pem/.der conversion. Sample material only, self-signed and clearly labelled.
