What is a .csr file?

application/pkcs10

A CSR (Certificate Signing Request, PKCS#10) is a PEM-encoded request a party sends to a certificate authority to be issued a certificate. It contains the subject distinguished name and public key, self-signed with the matching private key to prove possession, but has no validity dates or issuer.

How to use a .csr file

Use an example .csr to test CSR parsers, certificate-authority intake flows, and PKCS#10 decoders, or to verify subject and public-key extraction. Sample request only.
