First, check what type of file it is; i.e. file x509 if it is an ascii file, check the PEM header. The PEM header will tell you what kind of information is included.
If it is a data file (binary), try to use asn1parse to parse the data. If it is an ASN1 encoded file, it would show the structure of the data.
