## Cross-signed versions

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

## What happens when it expires

DigiCert Global Root CA is valid until 2031-11-10, about 5.0 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. 1 of its valid intermediates expire later than the root, so their operators need another path, such as a cross-sign from a newer root, before 2031-11-10.
