Changes

The Mozilla Root Program's official repository of the roots it trusts is [https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/tip/security/nss/lib/ckfw/builtins/certdata.txt certdata.txt]. Some information about the level of trust in each root is included in that file - for example, whether it's trusted for server SSL, S/MIME or both, and whether it's an EV root. However, not all restrictions recommended by Mozilla on the roots can be or are encoded in certdata.txt. Some are implemented at the in our security library, "NSS level", or in Firefox and Thunderbird(so-called "PSM").

Sometimes, other companies and organizations decide to use Mozilla's root store in their products. As the [[CA:FAQ#Can_I_use_Mozilla.27s_set_of_CA_certificates.3F|CA FAQ]] notes, Mozilla does not promise to take into account the needs of other users of its root store when making decisions. However, for the benefit of such users and on a best-efforts basis, this page documents the additional restrictions trust settings that Mozilla recommends. ==Extended Validation (EV)== The status of whether a root is approved to issue EV certificates or not is [https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/security/certverifier/ExtendedValidation.cpp stored in PSM] rather than certdata.txt.

Mozilla [https://blog.mozilla.org/security/files/2015/04/CNNIC-MCS.pdf currently recommends] not trusting any certificates issued by this CA after 1st April 2015. This covers two roots in our store - "CNNIC ROOT" and "China Internet Network Information Center EV Certificates Root". We have a [https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/security/certverifier/CNNICHashWhitelist.inc whitelist of older certificates], and tools to generate it. The code implementing this restriction is [https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/security/certverifier/NSSCertDBTrustDomain.cpp#753 in the Mozilla platform security code (PSM)], which is shared by the Mozilla applications (Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.). ==ANSSI== The French Government CA is name-constrained to those ccTLDs whose geographies are under the jurisdiction of France - that is, .fr, .gp, .gf, .mq, .re, .yt, .pm, .bl, .mf, .wf, .pf, .nc, and .tf. The code for that [https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/security/nss/lib/certdb/genname.c#1588 is in NSS].
