So this is an interesting story. How eMudhra became the foundation of global internet. Im surprised that no news channels are digging up the root CA history. Maybe people dont know that this is public information. groups.google.com/g/mozilla.… So this is the discussion list for mozilla security policy back in 2018. When emudhra first applied for inclusion as a root ca. One of the maintainers questions eMudhra's credentials as an "Indian co". The filing in response is very interesting. "eMudhra has been a licensed CA under Controller of Certifying Authorities which operates the Indian Government Root for more than 10 years and is also a licensed CA in Mauritius under Ministry of IT, Mauritius. eMudhra has issued over 35 million digital certificates (3% of India’s population). eMudhra is a critical partner to Digital India and supports the usage of digital signatures on a variety of eGovernance platforms for Government of India including Company Law Board, Income Tax, Goods and Service Tax (GST / VAT), eProcurement, Travel Portals, Customs, Banking etc. eMudhra’s solutions power digital signature and other multifactor authentication for over 35 Banks which include domestic and global Banks. eMudhra also has a proprietary CA solution which is today used by the Indian Army and other defense establishments." Eventually mozilla HAD to accept, because emudhra claimed publicly - "But this was not a complete Webtrust audited setup. Rather, it is under Government of India."
