Summary

This package contains the set of CA certificates chosen by the

Update Information:

This is an update to the set of CA certificates released with NSS version 3.18.1

However, the package modifies the CA list to keep several legacy CAs still trusted for compatibility reasons. Please refer to the project URL for details.
