Secure Global CA
Secure Global CA is a root CA certificate operated by SSL.com (RSA 2048, valid until 2029-12-31, SHA-256 4200F504). As of the latest CCADB data it is trusted for TLS server authentication by 1 of 4 major root stores: Microsoft.
Root store status

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chrome | Removed Removed | No | — | No |
| Mozilla | Removed Removed | No | — | No |
| Apple | Blocked Blocked | No | — | No |
| Microsoft | Included Included | Yes | — | Yes |
The CCADB lists EV policy OID 2.16.840.1.114404.1.1.2.4.1 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 5 intermediate CA certificates signed directly by Secure Global CA: 1 currently valid, 1 expired and 3 revoked (revoked includes those whose parent was revoked).
Showing 5 of 5: 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.
| Intermediate | Operated by | Expires | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSL.com TLS RSA Root CA 2022 → SSL.com TLS RSA Root CA 2022 | SSL.com | 2029-12-28 | Valid |
| Trustwave Secure Global Extended Validation CA, Level 1 | SSL.com | 2025-08-09 | Expired |
| VikingCloud SG TLS EV CA, Level 1 | SSL.com | 2029-12-22 | Revoked |
| Trustwave S/MIME CA, Level 2 | SSL.com | 2028-12-22 | Revoked |
| Trustwave Secure E-mail CA, Level 1 | SSL.com | 2028-05-07 | Revoked |
Cross-signed versions
No certificate in the CCADB has the same subject and public key as Secure Global CA with a different issuer, so a client has to carry Secure Global CA itself in its root store to trust it.

What happens when it expires
Secure Global CA is valid until 2029-12-31, about 3.1 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 Secure Global CA by common name (Secure Global 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: Blocked)
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 "Secure Global CA" -Z \
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain | grep "SHA-256"
# SHA-256 hash: 4200F5043AC8590EBB527D209ED1503029FBCBD41CA1B506EC27F15ADE7DAC69
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.
certutil -verifystore Root 3A44735AE581901F248661461E3B9CC45FF53A1B
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 "Secure Global CA"
# Debian / Ubuntu (ca-certificates)
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
| openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -iF "Secure Global 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 "42:00:F5:04:3A:C8:59:0E:BB:52:7D:20:9E:D1:50:30:29:FB:CB:D4:1C:A1:B5:06:EC:27:F1:5A:DE:7D:AC:69"
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 SecureTrust Corporation → Secure Global 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.
# show subject (s:) and issuer (i:) of every certificate the server sends
openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -servername example.com -showcerts </dev/null 2>/dev/null \
| grep -E '^ *[0-9]+ s:|^ *i:'
# subject and SHA-256 fingerprint of the downloaded PEM file
openssl x509 -in ssl-com-secure-global-ca.pem -noout -subject -fingerprint -sha256
# sha256 Fingerprint=42:00:F5:04:3A:C8:59:0E:BB:52:7D:20:9E:D1:50:30:29:FB:CB:D4:1C:A1:B5:06:EC:27:F1:5A:DE:7D:AC:69
