Carlos, I was not able to open the .crt files. The tid_x1_ne.cacert is a PKCS 7 chain that you should be able to open with OpenSSL. I did an ASN.1 parse and have the output below from 4R-CA_1.crt. Maybe someone on the list can do something with it.

Hello, I have request the root ca of my national digital sign authority. It's the german regulatory authority for telecommunication. I have tried to load this with openssl x509 -inform DER -in 4R-CA_1.crt -noout -text openssl x509 -inform PEM -in 4R-CA_1.crt -noout -text openssl x509 -inform NET -in 4R-CA_1.crt -noout -text nothing of this works. I have the same problem with some other CA's root certificates like the digicert root certificates (tid_x1_ne.cacert) . I have attached this ones to this mail. Has everyone an idea how to load this certificates to openssl ?
