I saved the base64 encoded text in a file with an extension ".cer" and then double-clicked it. Microsoft recognizes it is a certificate and opens it up in a certificate viewer.
Over here it says "The integrity of the certificate cannot be guaranteed.

Am I missing something? What does "open it up" mean? The self-signed EC cert you posted looks fine. $ openssl verify -CAfile foo.pem -purpose crlsign foo.pem foo.pem: OK $ openssl x509 -text -in foo.pem Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: d2:4e:d0:af:62:63:da:1b Signature Algorithm: ecdsa-with-SHA1 Issuer: C=US, ST=Some-State, O=Internet Widgits Pty Ltd Validity Not Before: Feb 13 05:37:39 2008 GMT Not After : Feb 12 05:37:39 2009 GMT Subject: C=US, ST=Some-State, O=Internet Widgits Pty Ltd Subject Public Key Info: Public Key Algorithm: id-ecPublicKey Public-Key: (256 bit) pub: 04:f3:26:32:97:d1:db:f9:e6:18:40:53:95:f7:67: f7:ab:52:25:96:aa:58:d2:8e:dc:6d:d3:a5:e5:5d: 11:95:e7:73:f9:b3:24:df:5e:4f:b1:5e:55:49:66: 3e:a4:39:3c:c5:a4:74:f0:a3:62:35:94:23:aa:e5: db:83:67:07:35 ASN1 OID: prime256v1 X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: E6:9B:18:14:7F:52:88:EB:C5:86:BE:B3:68:9E:BE:39:F3:A6:2B:E2 X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid:E6:9B:18:14:7F:52:88:EB:C5:86:BE:B3:68:9E:BE:39:F3:A6:2B:E2 DirName:/C=US/ST=Some-State/O=Internet Widgits Pty Ltd serial:D2:4E:D0:AF:62:63:DA:1B X509v3 Basic Constraints: CA:TRUE Signature Algorithm: ecdsa-with-SHA1 30:45:02:21:00:a7:58:a0:52:62:be:42:dd:53:83:6d:4c:c4: 4f:dd:96:24:56:f5:f8:6b:76:ec:3f:cf:fa:0b:41:8c:6c:4b: 85:02:20:24:00:ae:a7:fb:1b:37:cf:77:f6:3e:2e:47:22:ed: ba:21:0b:79:32:31:3a:07:2b:2f:32:0e:81:4f:8c:eb:b0 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIICJzCCAc6gAwIBAgIJANJO0K9iY9obMAkGByqGSM49BAEwRTELMAkGA1UEBhMC VVMxEzARBgNVBAgTClNvbWUtU3RhdGUxITAfBgNVBAoTGEludGVybmV0IFdpZGdp dHMgUHR5IEx0ZDAeFw0wODAyMTMwNTM3MzlaFw0wOTAyMTIwNTM3MzlaMEUxCzAJ BgNVBAYTAlVTMRMwEQYDVQQIEwpTb21lLVN0YXRlMSEwHwYDVQQKExhJbnRlcm5l dCBXaWRnaXRzIFB0eSBMdGQwWTATBgcqhkjOPQIBBggqhkjOPQMBBwNCAATzJjKX 0dv55hhAU5X3Z/erUiWWqljSjtxt06XlXRGV53P5syTfXk+xXlVJZj6kOTzFpHTw o2I1lCOq5duDZwc1o4GnMIGkMB0GA1UdDgQWBBTmmxgUf1KI68WGvrNonr4586Yr 4jB1BgNVHSMEbjBsgBTmmxgUf1KI68WGvrNonr4586Yr4qFJpEcwRTELMAkGA1UE BhMCVVMxEzARBgNVBAgTClNvbWUtU3RhdGUxITAfBgNVBAoTGEludGVybmV0IFdp ZGdpdHMgUHR5IEx0ZIIJANJO0K9iY9obMAwGA1UdEwQFMAMBAf8wCQYHKoZIzj0E AQNIADBFAiEAp1igUmK+Qt1Tg21MxE/dliRW9fhrduw/z/oLQYxsS4UCICQArqf7 GzfPd/Y+Lkci7bohC3kyMToHKy8yDoFPjOuw -----END CERTIFICATE----- -- Viktor. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
