CertViewer [DotNET security utility]

#1 Post by Grünkohlkönig »

A simple X.509 certificate viewer for Microsoft Windows.

Desciption:
In order to display an X.509 certificate, simply drop a certificate file in the binary (DER) or the Base64-encoded (PEM) format onto the CertViewer window. Alternatively, you can copy a certificate in the PEM format to the clipboard. Last but not least, it is also possible to pass a certificate file to CertViewer via command-line parameter.

Note: By default, CertViewer continuously monitors the clipboard for "viewable" certificates in the PEM format.
