Dear Richard,

Does ZT Browser have its own root store (and root store program) or does it
use the platform root store?

Thank you

Membership of ZT Browser

Richard Wang has provided the following statement in support of ZT Browser's
membership as a Certificate Consumer (shared here with permission):

Hello Dean and Members,

Very thanks for your effort for my company's application.

I wish to be a membership become I love CABF since I joint this organization
in 2013, this is the best international organization in the world that every
member work hard to do the best to make the Internet more secure.

So, I sincerely invite you to vote "YES", thanks.

Here are the reasons:

(1)  ZT Browser is the only one that keep the EV green bar, this is the
first feature. I know all CA love it once I decided to make a browser.
Everyone can get this love from the blog:
https://pkic.org/2019/08/27/why-are-you-removing-website-identity-google-and
-mozilla/ wrote by Kirk Hall (Entrust), Tim Callan (Sectigo).  We believe
that website identity is same important as encryption.

We think Internet users must have the freedom of choice to love EV green bar
or NOT, but current situation is NO choice, this is not good.

Vote ZT Browser is to vote the Choice!

(2)  ZT Browser believe the website security not only just encryption, and
not only the identity, but also need protection. This is why we display the
WAF protection icon (F) in the address bar. This also is the unique one in
all current browsers.

We think Internet users must have the right to know if the website they are
visiting have security protection to give them confidence for surfing.

Vote ZT Browser is to vote the Right!

(3)   ZT Browser is the unique one that support China algorithm SM2 SSL
certificate and SM2 Certificate Transparency, SM2 algorithm support is the
compliance requirement of China Cryptography Law since ZT Browser made in
China.  All website using SM2 SSL certificate for https encryption display
the special icon (m) in the address bar.

     We think all browsers will support SM2 algorithm in the future since it
is not only required in China market, but it also an approved algorithm by
ISO/IEC. CA/B Forum need a browser member that support SM2 algorithm for
Internet user's choice and for trial for all browsers. 

 Vote ZT Browser is to vote the Future!

Thanks for your love! Have a bright new year!

Best Regards,

Richard Wang
