The list displays the following information:

Note
LiteSSL, Google, and SSL.com require obtaining EAB (KID and HMAC) from their official websites first. The KID and HMAC fields are only shown when one of these CAs is selected. Google is not accessible in mainland China; other CAs depend on network conditions, so using Let's Encrypt or LiteSSL is recommended.
