Sectigo Code Signing SSL
Comparing purchasing software in a physical store versus online is like night and day. When software comes packaged with a manufacturer's seal on a disk or through a USB cable, there is no doubt about the authenticity of the product. However, when software is downloaded from a website, without proper verification, there is always the possibility that it contains malicious fragments. Third parties may attempt to modify digital products for their own benefit. This is where the Sectigo Code Signing SSL certificate comes in, as it eliminates the risk of tampering. Users immediately receive a notification that the software has been signed by the developer and that no one has interfered with the digital code or its structure.
The Sectigo Code Signing SSL certificate is the optimal choice for anyone who develops software. It is a convenient way to protect written code when it is planned to be distributed online. Clients will have no doubts about the authenticity of the product downloaded through a website. It is especially important to verify the integrity and absence of malicious changes of files in formats such as:
- cab - software installation files;
- dll - dynamic libraries;
- exe - executable files;
- jar - Java archive files;
- ocx - ActiveX components.
In addition, files such as Adobe, Flash, Flex, and some others can be signed. Both individuals and legal entities can use the certificate, which will confirm that the digital code has not been altered since it was released by the developer. In other words, the certificate serves as proof of the manufacturer. The signature is 32/64 bit.
Business verification
To obtain a "business" SSL certificate, a company must confirm ownership of the domain and provide documentation for review. The issuance of a certificate designed for corporate websites typically takes about two to three business days.
