Telia: Qualified BR Audit Statement 2020

Telia Company reported an observation from their 2020 Webtrust BR audit, indicating that their old root CA certificates do not fully comply with current BR requirements. The audit noted that the Key Usage extension in the root CA certificates was not marked critical, and the subject information lacked the country name. Although Telia has created a new compliant root CA, the transition to widespread adoption is ongoing, and they are seeking continued trust for their older roots until the new root is accepted by all browsers.
