SHA-1 issuance by Visa root

RESOLVED Visa
AI Summary

This case addresses the issuance of SHA-1 certificates by Visa's root certificate authority, which violated Mozilla's Baseline Requirements. The certificates were issued in 2016 and were later replaced with SHA-2 certificates. The delay in revocation raised concerns about compliance with Mozilla's policies. Ultimately, the certificates were confirmed to be revoked after significant communication between Mozilla and Visa.
