Code Signing Certificate

ObjectSign Code Signing Certificates


Software vendors and developers can digitally sign (code sign) and timestamp the software they distribute over the Internet. The code signing process is the virtual equivalent to shrink-wrapping CD based software for distribution – it ensures the end user knows the digitally signed software is legitimate, comes from a known software vendor and the code has not been tampered with since being published.

ObjectSign Code Signing Certificates provide you with the ability to digitally sign software to attest to authentication, security and integrity of your code / executables for the following formats:

Supported Code Formats for Code Signing Certificates

Running Unsigned Code / Executables can be Dangerous!
End users are encouraged not to run unsigned code / executables therefore downloading / running unsigned applications will generate worrying Unknown Publisher security warnings. Unsigned software can be tampered with (such as the insertion of spyware, malware or harmful code and then redistributed). Once digitally signed using a Code Signing Certificate, customers can be sure of the identity of the software developer and that the software has not been altered since being published by the original vendor. The security warnings change from being worrying to alerting the user the publisher of the digitally signed software is known – adding an essential level of trust to the application installation process.
