The CSR contains the public key of a key pair, and must be checked for authenticity by the registration office ( Registration Authority ).

The certificate can also be written in binary format ( DER) or printable format PEM.

The validated by the registry request ( CSR) will be forwarded to digitally sign the certification body.
