Certificate or token QR Code

An x.509 certificate or a JWT bearer token. You can scan and verify one, but you won't find it in our generator.

What is a Certificate or token QR code?

A code carrying an x.509 certificate or a JWT bearer token holds either a public identity credential or, in the case of a JWT, an active authentication token.

Who issues it

A certificate authority issues x.509 certificates. An authentication server issues JWTs, typically for a specific signed-in session or service.

The standard behind it

X.509 defines the certificate format; JWTs follow RFC 7519. Both can carry live credential material.

Why you can't generate this here

The code contains live secret material (2FA seeds, a vault export, a private key or bearer token). Generating one would mint or leak a real secret, so we refuse by design.

You can still scan and verify one with our free QR checker.

Frequently asked

Can I make a Certificate or token QR code with a generator?
No. Certificates need to trace back to a real certificate authority to mean anything, and a JWT is often a live, currently valid session token, generating one would either be meaningless or a real security risk.

Can I check whether one I received is genuine?
Certificates can be checked against the issuing certificate authority's chain of trust. check.qr.abundera.ai will show you the raw structure, but validating a JWT's signature needs the issuing server's key.
