Buypass Class 3 Root CA

Buypass Class 3 Root CA is a root CA certificate operated by Buypass (RSA 4096, valid until 2040-10-26, SHA-256 EDF7EBBC). As of the latest CCADB data it is trusted for TLS server authentication by 3 of 4 major root stores: Chrome, Apple, Microsoft.

Chrome stops trusting TLS certificates under this root whose SCTs are dated after 2025-10-31 (sct_not_after). The CCADB lists EV policy OID 2.23.140.1.1, 2.16.578.1.26.1.3.3 for this root, but Mozilla does not mark it as EV-enabled.

"Trusted for TLS" means the store includes the root with the server-authentication trust bit (Mozilla "Websites", Apple serverAuth, Microsoft Server Authentication EKU). Microsoft "NotBefore" means only certificates issued before a cutoff date are still trusted. "Constrained" means the store applies extra restrictions.

Intermediate CAs issued by this root

The CCADB lists 7 intermediate CA certificates signed directly by Buypass Class 3 Root CA: 1 currently valid, 0 expired and 6 revoked (revoked includes those whose parent was revoked).

Showing 7 of 7: valid certificates first, newest first. Each name links to its crt.sh entry by SHA-256; an arrow marks a cross-certificate for another root on this site.

Cross-signed versions

No certificate in the CCADB has the same subject and public key as Buypass Class 3 Root CA with a different issuer, so a client has to carry Buypass Class 3 Root CA itself in its root store to trust it.

CRL and OCSP addresses

In the root certificate

Buypass Class 3 Root CA itself contains no CRL Distribution Points and no OCSP (Authority Information Access) extension. That is normal for a root: clients trust it directly and do not check its own revocation status.

What happens when it expires

Buypass Class 3 Root CA is valid until 2040-10-26, about 14.0 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. Root programs can stop trusting it before it expires: Chrome 2025-10-31.

Check whether your device trusts it

Each platform keeps its own root store. The commands below look up Buypass Class 3 Root CA by common name (Buypass Class 3 Root CA) or fingerprint. The store status in each heading comes from the CCADB snapshot; your device can differ if it is out of date or managed by an administrator.

macOS (Apple store: Included · Trusted for TLS)

Search the system roots keychain by common name. -Z prints the SHA-256 hash, which must match the fingerprint on the last line.

security find-certificate -a -c "Buypass Class 3 Root CA" -Z \
  /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain | grep "SHA-256"
# SHA-256 hash: EDF7EBBCA27A2A384D387B7D4010C666E2EDB4843E4C29B4AE1D5B9332E6B24D

Windows (Microsoft store: Included · Trusted for TLS)

Windows identifies roots by SHA-1 thumbprint. It installs third-party roots on demand through Automatic Root Certificates Update, so "not found" can also mean the root has not been needed yet; certutil -generateSSTFromWU roots.sst downloads Microsoft's full list.

Linux (ca-certificates follows Mozilla: Removed)

Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and RHEL build their ca-certificates package from Mozilla's root store. Use trust list on p11-kit systems, or search the PEM bundle on Debian and Ubuntu.

# Fedora / RHEL / Arch (p11-kit)
trust list --filter=ca-anchors | grep -iF -A2 "Buypass Class 3 Root CA"
# Debian / Ubuntu (ca-certificates)
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
  | openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -iF "Buypass Class 3 Root CA"

Java

Java ships its own cacerts keystore; JDK 9 and later accept -cacerts and the default store password is changeit. Search for the SHA-256 fingerprint in colon form.

keytool -list -cacerts -storepass changeit | grep -i "ED:F7:EB:BC:A2:7A:2A:38:4D:38:7B:7D:40:10:C6:66:E2:ED:B4:84:3E:4C:29:B4:AE:1D:5B:93:32:E6:B2:4D"

Android

Android's system store is maintained by Google separately from the four CCADB stores above. Open Settings → Security & privacy → More security settings → Encryption & credentials → Trusted credentials → System (menu names vary by vendor and version) and look for Buypass AS-983163327 → Buypass Class 3 Root CA.

Which root does my site chain to?

List the chain your server sends and compare the last issuer with this root; the fingerprint check confirms a local copy.
