"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 2 intermediate CA certificates signed directly by QuoVadis TLS ECC P384 Root G4: 1 currently valid, 0 expired and 1 revoked (revoked includes those whose parent was revoked).

Showing 2 of 2: 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 QuoVadis TLS ECC P384 Root G4 with a different issuer, so a client has to carry QuoVadis TLS ECC P384 Root G4 itself in its root store to trust it.

CRL and OCSP addresses

In the root certificate

QuoVadis TLS ECC P384 Root G4 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

QuoVadis TLS ECC P384 Root G4 is valid until 2048-03-09, about 21.3 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.

Check whether your device trusts it

Each platform keeps its own root store. The commands below look up QuoVadis TLS ECC P384 Root G4 by common name (QuoVadis TLS ECC P384 Root G4) 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 The store status in each heading comes from the CCADB snapshot; your device can differ if it is out of date or managed by an administrator.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: Not included)

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 "QuoVadis TLS ECC P384 Root G4" -Z \
  /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain | grep "SHA-256"
# SHA-256 hash: 6E1FD3AE0D2D477C8F5EE5F335CC5B6356872654E5356A73D8C0A30A17C252A2

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: Not included)

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 "QuoVadis TLS ECC P384 Root G4"
# Debian / Ubuntu (ca-certificates)
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
  | openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -iF "QuoVadis TLS ECC P384 Root G4"

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 "6E:1F:D3:AE:0D:2D:47:7C:8F:5E:E5:F3:35:CC:5B:63:56:87:26:54:E5:35:6A:73:D8:C0:A3:0A:17:C2:52:A2"

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 QuoVadis Trustlink B.V. → QuoVadis TLS ECC P384 Root G4.

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.
