Software vendors and developers can digitally sign (code sign) and time stamp 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.
(*) GlobalSign offers the service on a reasonable use basis of 50 time stamping operations per certificate per year. Requests for time stamping requirements in excess of this should be directed to GlobalSign. Full terms and conditions available on request.

Adobe AIR developers can use GlobalSign’s Code Signing Certificates to make their application tamperproof as well as bind their identity to the digitally signed AIR application. AIR only allows digitally signed applications to be run, and the digital signature also allows users to identify which developer signed the application and when, providing assurances that the application is legitimate.

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.
All Adobe AIR developers who seriously want to distribute trusted applications to their customers whether online or off.
Credibility is crucial for any business. Protect your customers, your organization and yourself with public verifiable digital signatures provided by GlobalSign, Inc.
