PEM bundles often contain more than one object. A single text file can include a certificate chain, a private key, a CSR, or a PKCS#7 package, and it is not always obvious where each piece starts and ends.


  
This extractor scans any text that contains PEM BEGIN and END markers, splits it into labeled blocks, and summarizes what each block appears to be. It is useful when you are preparing separate files for a load balancer, a web server, or a certificate store.






  
Technical Details:


  
PEM is a base64 encoding with a header and footer. Each block is parsed by its label, and certificates and CSRs are inspected to pull out basic identity fields such as the Common Name and issuer.


  
Private keys may be encrypted. The extractor labels encryption when it is visible in the PEM headers, but it does not attempt decryption without a passphrase.
