Frequently asked questions

How do I decode DER data?

Paste hex, Base64 or PEM into the ASN.1 / DER Decoder and it renders a tree with tag types, lengths and values.

Can it resolve OIDs?

Yes, it names the common cryptographic object identifiers it knows, such as algorithms and distinguished-name attributes. Unknown OIDs are shown as dotted numbers.

What is the difference between DER and BER?

DER is a strict subset of BER with one canonical encoding. The tool decodes definite-length encodings, which covers DER; BER indefinite-length encoding is not supported.

Can I inspect the raw structure of a certificate or key?

Yes, paste the certificate or key as PEM or hex to see its underlying ASN.1 structure.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your input is processed locally on your device and is never uploaded or stored on a server.
