| File Description |
Base64-encoded certificate file, such as a PEM-encoded X509 certificate; used to authenticate a secure website; typically imported from a Unix-based Apache Web server and compatible with OpenSSL applications.
PEM certificate files are generated automatically and are not meant to be opened or edited manually; some secure websites may ask users to upload a PEM file (possibly sent in an e-mail) in order to authenticate their identity. |
