What is an OPENCERT file?

OPENCERT files mostly belong to OpenCerts Viewer. OPENCERT files are digital certificates saved in a JSON format. They carry verified information such as the issuer, recipient, and digital signature.
These files are used in educational and professional settings for verifying credentials. They are issued by platforms like OpenCerts Verifier, OpenCerts Viewer, and OpenCerts Wallet.

They use an open standard that makes it simple to exchange certificate data.

The JSON format allows for both human readability and easy machine processing.

Some implementations may involve blockchain or cryptographic methods to secure the certificate.

For more details on the standard, visit the OpenCerts website.
FilExt.com tip: If you have an OPENCERT file, you can open it with any text editor to view its JSON structure, or use a dedicated viewer designed for digital certificates. Be careful not to modify the file as its integrity is key to its verification.
