## Cross-signed versions

5 certificate(s) in the CCADB have the same subject and public key as GlobalSign Root R46 but a different issuer. A server can send one of them so that clients which trust the issuing root, but not GlobalSign Root R46, can still build a chain.

## What happens when it expires

GlobalSign Root R46 is valid until 2046-03-20, about 19.4 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.
