Code Signing for Mac OS

Show that your Apple Mac OS Desktop applications and kernel software are from a trusted developer. Digitally Sign AIR Applications and Software

GlobalSign Code Signing Certificates for Apple Mac OS are used to digitally sign software, applications, plug-ins, and content for Mac OS desktops. Code signing technology was introduced by Apple for Mac OS 9 onwards.

GlobalSign Code Signing Certificates can be used with the following systems: Parental controls (MCX), Keychain Access Controls, Developer Tools Access (DTA), App Sandbox, and Application Firewall.

In order to sign applications to distribute through the app store, or to pass through Mac OS Gatekeeper, you must use an Apple Developer ID Certificate.
