This directory contains the artifacts related to the Chrome Root Store.
The root store is defined by two files:
root_store.textproto file, which is a RootStore protobuf message, defined in //net/cert/root_store.proto.
root_store.certs which stores the certificates referenced by root_store.textproto
The root_store_tool uses the two files above to generate code that is included in Chrome. The Chrome Root Store and Certificate Verifier will begin rolling out on Windows and macOS in Chrome 105, with other platforms to follow.
