SAMPLE CSR — RSA with SAN
The CSR shape a modern CA expects: full subject DN, a requested subjectAltName extension, and a self-signature proving possession of the RSA key. Everything a CA intake form needs to parse.

Testing contract

What is a .csr file?
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 this 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.
How to use this file for testing
“SAMPLE CSR — RSA with SAN” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Certificate & key testing. Self-signed X.509 certificates (PEM, CRT, DER), a CSR, RSA and Ed25519 keys, an SSH public key, a PKCS#12 bundle, and an htpasswd file — all published sample-only material, for testing certificate parsers, TLS tooling, keystore importers, and PEM/DER decoders.
Documented properties for this file: seed 70117 · PKCS#10 (PEM). Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
This is published, SAMPLE-only security material — never a real secret. Point certificate, key, or token parsers at it, test PEM/DER decoding and PKCS handling, and confirm your tooling reads the documented fields; any sample password is printed on this page.
This is a published, sample-only certificate/key. Parse it, verify the chain or signature, and test PEM↔DER conversion — never deploy it anywhere real.
