− | [[wikipedia: | + | [[wikipedia:PEM]] extension for [[X.509]] certificates. <code>.pem</code> defined in [[RFCs]] 1421 through 1424, this is a container format that may include just the [[public certificate]] (such as with Apache installs, and CA certificate files <code>[[/etc/ssl/certs/]]</code>), or may include an entire certificate chain including [[public key]], [[private key]] and [[root certificates]]. Confusingly, it may also encode a [[CSR]] (e.g. as used here) as the [[PKCS10]] format can be translated into PEM. The name is from Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM), a failed method for secure email but the container format it used lives on, and is a base64 translation of the x509 ASN.1 keys.<ref>https://serverfault.com/questions/9708/what-is-a-pem-file-and-how-does-it-differ-from-other-openssl-generated-key-file </ref> |
