SSL Certificate & Private Key Pair Checker

Pair-check an SSL certificate against a private key or a CSR file

Features

Strict matching by public key hash

Determine whether the public keys of the certificate, private key, and CSR match using SHA-256

Two pair-check modes

Switch between certificate-and-private-key and certificate-and-CSR to verify

Show hash values for comparison

On mismatch, line up both SHA-256 hashes to visualize the difference

Try it instantly with samples

Load valid and invalid samples with one click to test the behavior

How to use

1

Choose the check type

Select the comparison target from the "SSL certificate and private key" or "SSL certificate and CSR" tabs

2

Paste the certificate and its counterpart

Paste the SSL certificate and the private key or CSR into their respective fields in PEM format

3

Run and check the result

Press the run button and check the match/mismatch result and the public key hash values

Use cases

Pre-check before installing a certificate

Prevent mismatched certificate and private key combinations before configuring the server

Avoid mixing up multiple certificates

When managing multiple files during renewal, use it to identify the corresponding key

Confirm consistency from a CSR

Verify whether the issued certificate uses the same key pair as the CSR from the application

Isolate installation errors

Determine in advance whether an installation error is caused by a pair mismatch
