Chrome stops trusting TLS certificates under this root whose SCTs are dated after 2026-05-28 (sct_not_after). Mozilla treats it as an EV root for policy OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.7879.13.24.1.

"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 9 intermediate CA certificates signed directly by T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 3: 4 currently valid, 2 expired and 3 revoked (revoked includes those whose parent was revoked).

Showing 9 of 9: 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

1 certificate(s) in the CCADB have the same subject and public key as T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 3 but a different issuer. A server can send one of them so that clients which trust the issuing root, but not T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 3, can still build a chain.

CRL and OCSP addresses

In the root certificate

T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 3 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

T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 3 is valid until 2033-10-01, about 6.9 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. Root programs can stop trusting it before it expires: Chrome 2026-05-28.

Check whether your device trusts it

Each platform keeps its own root store. The commands below look up T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 3 by common name (T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 3) 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 The store status in each heading comes from the CCADB snapshot; your device can differ if it is out of date or managed by an administrator.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: Included · Trusted for TLS)

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 "T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 3" -Z \
  /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain | grep "SHA-256"
# SHA-256 hash: FD73DAD31C644FF1B43BEF0CCDDA96710B9CD9875ECA7E31707AF3E96D522BBD

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 55A6723ECBF2ECCDC3237470199D2ABE11E381D1

Linux (ca-certificates follows Mozilla: Included · Trusted for TLS)

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 "T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 3"
# Debian / Ubuntu (ca-certificates)
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
  | openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -iF "T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 3"

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 "FD:73:DA:D3:1C:64:4F:F1:B4:3B:EF:0C:CD:DA:96:71:0B:9C:D9:87:5E:CA:7E:31:70:7A:F3:E9:6D:52:2B:BD"

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 T-Systems Enterprise Services GmbH → T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 3.

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.
