## Cross-signed versions

1 certificate(s) in the CCADB have the same subject and public key as Amazon Root CA 4 but a different issuer. A server can send one of them so that clients which trust the issuing root, but not Amazon Root CA 4, can still build a chain.

| Signed by | CA owner | Expires | Status | SHA-256 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starfield Services Root Certificate Authority - G2 | Amazon Trust Services | 2037-12-31 | Valid | 543D9B7FC2A6471CD84FCA52C2CF6159DF83EBFCD88D8B08B5AF3F88737F52E6 |

## What happens when it expires

Amazon Root CA 4 is valid until 2040-05-26, about 13.5 years after this data snapshot (2026-11-10). From that day, browsers and operating systems that check trust-anchor expiry stop accepting chains that end at this root, so any certificate that can only chain to it fails validation. Android is a known exception: it does not enforce the expiry date of trust anchors.
