    @vidarlo Would you be willing to post an answer about that? Apr 12, 2018 at 16:15
  • @EliahKagan In my opinion this question is offtopic as it is not about ubuntu. I'd suggest security SE as a resort for it :)

It is not a language. It is simply the certificate, and the BEGIN/END are simply markers to state the content in between is the certificate data.

An SSL cert does not have a 'language', as SSL is a protocol or set of standards defining a way for two systems to communicate.
