Secure Your Software’s Integrity with
Our Code Signing Certificates

In an era where digital security is more crucial than ever, Code Signing Certificates emerge as essential tools for publishers and distributors of digital content (such as applications, scripts, firmware, drivers and even some documents that support embedded scripts or macros). These certificates serve as digital seals of authenticity and integrity, ensuring that any form of digital content has not been altered since it was signed. This level of security is vital for all creators and distributors, reinforcing trust among users across the digital landscape.

What is Code Signing?

Code signing is the method of using a certificate-based digital signature to sign digital content in order to verify the author’s identity and ensure that the code has not been changed or corrupted since it was signed by the author.
Code signing is primarily used for software, but its application extends beyond just traditional executable software programs. Code signing can be applied to any form of code or content that can be digitally signed.
Utilising cryptographic techniques, code signing provides a secure means to assure end-users of the legitimacy and safety of the downloaded or deployed content. It’s a cornerstone of digital trust, ensuring that what users download or execute on their devices is exactly what the publisher intended, free from unauthorised modifications or malware.
