GRCA: Misissued certificates - invalid CN, bad validity period, missing extensions

RESOLVED FIXED Government of Taiwan, Government Root Certification Authority (GRCA)
AI Summary

The Government Root Certification Authority (GRCA) issued certificates that contained an invalid common name, exceeded the maximum validity period, and lacked required extensions such as EKU and SAN. Although GRCA argued that these certificates were not intended for TLS use, Mozilla's policy classifies them as misissued due to the absence of necessary extensions. An incident report was provided, and GRCA committed to including EKUs in all end-entity certificates issued after July 1, 2020, to comply with Mozilla's Root Store Policy.
