## Cross-signed versions

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

| Signed by | CA owner | Expires | Status | SHA-256 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baltimore CyberTrust Root | DigiCert | 2024-05-13 | Expired | D96CBC03B523CD3315918651CF4862162887DD563AFB2352D3F34BB94576F93D |

## What happens when it expires

Verizon Global Root CA is valid until 2034-07-30, about 7.7 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.
