A Code Signing Certificate is a set of data that identifies an existing entity. The certificate presents the entity’s public cryptographic key, allowing the public user to verify the sender’s identity.
Code Signing Certificates frequently use digital signatures to verify the identity of the content’s creator, as well as confirming that the content has not been tampered with since it was originally distributed. With the rapid growth of content distribution thanks to the Internet, code signing is absolutely critical for securing the delivery of content to the consumer. Code Signing Certificates with digital signatures allow publishes to sign .exe, .cab, .dll, and .ocx files; Java Applets and MIDlets; Microsoft® Office documents with macros; and Apple desktop applications.
