SSL tools Certificate/key matcher

Certificate/key matcher

Check that a certificate and its private key (or CSR) really belong together — before installation, not after.

A certificate only works with the private key its CSR was created with. If you install the wrong key on the server (e.g. from an older CSR), the site stops working over HTTPS. This tool compares the public key embedded in the certificate against the CSR or private key you enter, and tells you whether they match — no command line needed.

Only if the key is password-protected (ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY) - otherwise leave empty.

Fill in at least one of the CSR / Private key fields - both are not required.

Need a CSR? Create one in the CSR generator. Certificate in the wrong format? Convert it with the SSL converter.
