Why Check if Your Certificate & Key Match?

A mismatch between your SSL certificate and its Private Key or CSR will cause installation errors and browser warnings. This tool compares the cryptographic fingerprints of both files to confirm they are a matching pair before you install them on your server.

Certificate vs Private Key

Verify the SSL certificate was signed using the corresponding Private Key. Mismatches cause TLS handshake failures and must be resolved by re-issuing the certificate.

Certificate vs CSR

Confirm that the issued SSL certificate corresponds to the CSR that was submitted to the Certificate Authority. This verifies the certificate was issued for the correct domain.

Detect Installation Issues Early

Catching mismatches before installation saves time and avoids server downtime. Run this check before uploading your certificate and key to Apache, Nginx, or IIS.

Works After Re-Issue

If you regenerated a CSR or requested a new certificate, use this matcher to confirm the new certificate corresponds to your existing private key before deploying.
