SAMPLE RSA Private Key: PKCS#8, Unencrypted

The SAMPLE leaf's RSA-2048 key in unencrypted PKCS#8 (BEGIN PRIVATE KEY): the modern default and the pair to the PKCS#1 twin beside it. It is deliberately published; treat it as public.

Expected to pass
Scenario
Load the key and confirm it is the private half of the SAMPLE leaf certificate.
Expected result
The key parses as RSA-2048 and its public modulus equals the leaf certificate's SubjectPublicKeyInfo modulus.

What is a .key file?

A .key file holds a private key, usually PEM-encoded in PKCS#8 (BEGIN PRIVATE KEY) or a key-type-specific format. It is the secret half of a TLS or SSH identity and must normally be protected. The examples here are published, sample-only keys that must never be used in production.

How to use this file

Use an example .key to test PEM key parsers, PKCS#8 decoders, and key-format converters (for example PEM to DER or OpenSSH). These are deliberately published sample keys, for parser testing only, never for real use.

How to use this file for testing

“SAMPLE RSA Private Key: PKCS#8, Unencrypted” is a deterministic Testaroo fixture for Certificate & key testing. Self-signed X.509 certificates (PEM, CRT, DER), a CSR, RSA and Ed25519 keys, an SSH public key, a PKCS#12 bundle, and an htpasswd file, all published sample-only material, for testing certificate parsers, TLS tooling, keystore importers, and PEM/DER decoders.

Documented properties for this file: seed 70117 · RSA. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

This is published, SAMPLE-only security material, never a real secret. Point certificate, key, or token parsers at it, test PEM/DER decoding and PKCS handling, and confirm your tooling reads the documented fields; any sample password is printed on this page.

This is a published, sample-only certificate/key. Parse it, verify the chain or signature, and test PEM↔DER conversion, never deploy it anywhere real.
