Code signing certificates are a useful tool that can be used to protect your code, content, and other files when transmitted online. Understandably, people are leery of downloading any applications that they can’t trust onto their computers, which is why code signing certificates are so valuable. By signing your file extension with this encryption technology, a third party Certification Authority (CA) will confirm you as the author of the file and the certificate will automatically alert the user if any changes are made to the code. That way you don’t have to worry that someone has altered your work without your knowledge.
Code signing certificates work by giving your content a unique digital fingerprint. When you request this encryption technology, the CA provides you with a private key to retain for your use and a public key to distribute to users. The keys confirm your signature, verify that nothing has been changed, and allow access to designated users.
Code signing certificates are widely used throughout the industry among some of the heavy hitters in software technology. Microsoft, JavaSoft, Adobe, and Apple all rely on this encryption tool. Plus, code signing certificates can be used to sign just about every file format you can think of, including .exe, .ocx, .xpi, .msi, .dll, and .cab, among others. If you need to transmit code online and you want to be sure that no one makes any changes or exploits your source material, this is the tool for you. It gives you peace of mind that once your work is published online it isn't being altered by shady individuals and gives consumers confidence that they can download your file and not worry about being inundated with malware and viruses.
The certificates can even update automatically if you make any changes to the file yourself, so if you make a fix or install a patch, users know it's legit.
What good would an SSL certificate be if it didn't encrypt? EV SSL certificates provide powerful encryption that meets or exceeds all CAB Forum and NIST standards. That means 256-bit AES symmetric encryption, a 2048-bit RSA signature key, or you have the option of Elliptic Curve Cryptography, which is lighter and faster than its counterparts. Encryption is what protects any communication between your web server and your visitors' browsers. You'll never have to worry about your HTTPS connections with an EV SSL certificate.
