Why would I sign my code?
Running an unsigned program can be dangerous, which is why end users are recommended not to run or download an unsigned file by their operating system or browser. With unsighned code, security warnings and error messages will pop up (showing "Unknown Publisher" as the Author of the code) and may jeopardise the relationship of trust built between you and your customers.
Unsigned code can also be modified, after publication without your permission - malware or viruses added for instance.
The Code Signing certificates that we offer will enable you to:
- Digitally sign content for a secured distribution
- Authentify and verify the source of your program; inspire trust in it.
- Guarantee that your program or code has not been modified since it has been signed
- Build a trusted relationship with your customers by reducing error messages and security warnings
- Protect your customers with verifiable content integrity
