Software developers enjoy an environment where they can readily develop and deploy applications anywhere and everywhere. Unfortunately, the potential for fraud and the spread of malicious software has increased as well. A Code Signing Certificate generates a digital signature that insures the authentication of the author and the integrity that the code has not been compromised. Increasingly, operating systems, software applications, devices, and mobile networks require a digital signature to ensure that the code will not harm or interrupt services.
Different software platforms have different requirements and different tools for signing code.
