Why should you digitally sign your code?

Code Signing Certificates are used by developers on all platforms to digitally sign the applications and software they distribute over the Internet. Code Signing essentially provides the same assurance as a shrink wrapped CD – the signed code includes the name of the publisher and assurance that the code hasn't been tampered with since being published. Anyone downloading software off of the internet can make a decision whether or not to trust the software.

  • Digitally Sign Emails

    Prove authorship and prevent tampering, assuring the email recipient that the email came from you, not an imposter and that the content of the email has not been altered in transit.

  • Encrypt Emails

    Ensure your message can only be opened by the intended recipient, protect emails in transit and at rest, and keep sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands

Easy to Understand

The process and instructions have been made easier to understand with the step-wise instructions and FAQs, especially those, like me, without access to an IT department.
