CSR Decoding Tools
The publicly available OpenSSL service can decode a CSR locally, without transmitting sensitive information over unsecure networks.
Microsoft Windows OS versions newer than XP contain certutil.exe. Older OS versions may be able to install certutil.exe as part of another package, e.g. the Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1 version of adminpak. The basic command to view the contents of a CSR locally using this tool is certutil.exe -dump filename.csr.
Many other programs that are capable of creating a CSR are also capable of decoding it locally into a human readable format.

Famous quotes containing the word tools:
“In child rearing it would unquestionably be easier if a child were to do something because we say so. The authoritarian method does expedite things, but it does not produce independent functioning. If a child has not mastered the underlying principles of human interactions and merely conforms out of coercion or conditioning, he has no tools to use, no resources to apply in the next situation that confronts him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
