* Opera Software had a root store program until fall 2013. Opera 14+ will use the root store provided by the OS and the list of EV-enabled roots maintained by Google. Opera < 12 use Opera’s online root store, hereafter based on NSS by Mozilla. To get certificates accepted by Opera, apply to the above-mentioned root store programs for the relevant OS. (Based on visit to http://www.opera.com/docs/ca/)

Roots in NSS are listed here – https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/security-group/certs/included/ and here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ah-tHXMAwqU3dGx0cGFObG9QM192NFM4UWNBMlBaekE&single=true&gid=1&output=html

S/MIME Requirements
v1.0.13 - Ballot SMC015v2 - Mar 28, 2026

This ballot introduces requirements that a CA or RA must follow to rely upon a Mobile Drivers License (mDL) to provide evidence for the authentication of individual identity. It allows the use of mDL that conform to ISO/IEC 18013-5 and which may be verified by the CA or RA in conformance with ISO/IEC 18013-7. The CA or RA shall only accept mDL from an Issuing Authority that is legally authorized by the relevant government or jurisdiction to issue driving licenses. The draft also aligns the subsections of 3.2.4.2 (Validation of individual identity) to correspond more closely with those in 3.2.4.1 (Attribute collection of individual identity). It also includes minor editorial corrections. SMC015v2 was updated to remove an additional reference to the superceded ETSI EN 319 403. This ballot is proposed by Stephen Davidson (DigiCert) and endorsed by Ben Wilson (Mozilla) and Scott Rea (eMudhra).
