Code Signing Certificates for Trusted Software

When you distribute software, drivers, or scripts, a code signing certificate proves the code really came from you and has not been tampered with. It removes scary “unknown publisher” warnings and gives users the confidence to install.

Code Signing FAQs

What is a code signing certificate?
It digitally signs your software or drivers so users can verify the publisher and confirm the code has not been altered since you signed it.
Why does my software show an “unknown publisher” warning?
Unsigned software triggers that warning. A code signing certificate replaces it with your verified publisher name, increasing installs and trust.
What is the difference between code and driver signing?
Code signing covers applications and scripts; driver signing is required for hardware drivers, especially on Windows.
Do I still need SSL for my website?
Yes — code signing secures software, while an SSL certificate secures your website connection. They serve different purposes.
