PKCS7 Information

  • Extension(s) .p7b, .p7c, .spc, .pem
  • A PKCS7 certificate is serialized using either PEM or DER format.
  • PKCS7 certificate (or PKCS #7 certificate) is a degenerate form of the PKCS #7 cryptographic message standard defined in RFC 2315. It stores only * X.509 certificates (or possibly a certificate revocation list), with no encrypted data.
  • PEM-formatted files have a line that reads "-----BEGIN PKCS7-----" or "-----BEGIN PKCS #7 SIGNED DATA-----" or "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----". However, this does not distinguish them from other PKCS7 data types.
