CertCentral changes for new private key storage requirements
Industry standards will soon require private keys for code signing certificates to be stored on hardware certified as FIPS 140 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+, or equivalent.
DigiCert timeline for meeting new code signing certificate requirements
The changes affect orders placed in CertCentral or via the Services API:
May 2, 2023: You can use one of the new hardware token and hardware security module (HSM) provisioning methods when ordering or renewing a code signing certificate.
May 16, 2023: DigiCert will no longer accept Code Signing certificate requests using a provisioning method that does not meet the new private key storage requirement. This includes new, renewal, and reissue requests.
May 30, 2023: DigiCert will no longer issue Code Signing certificates using a provisioning method that does not meet the new private key storage requirement. This includes new, renewal, and reissue requests.

Umstellung auf Code Signing-Zertifikate mit mindestens 3072-Bit-RSA-Schlüssel durch die Branche
Um den Änderungen in der Branche zu entsprechen, hat DigiCert die folgenden Änderungen an unserem Code-Signing-Zertifikatsprozess vorgenommen:
Wir stellen nur noch Code-Signing-Zertifikate mit einem RSA-Schlüssel von 3072 Bit oder höher aus.*
Wir verwenden neue Zwischenzertifikate und Stammzertifikate für die Ausstellung unserer Code-Signing- und EV-Code-Signing-Zertifikate: RSA und ECC
* Hinweis: Alle bestehenden Code Signing-Zertifikate mit 2048-Bit-Schlüssel, die vor dem 1. Juni 2021 ausgestellt wurden, bleiben aktiv. Sie können diese Zertifikate weiterhin zum Signieren von Code verwenden, bis sie ablaufen.
Erfahren Sie mehr über die Umstellung auf Code Signing-Zertifikate mit 3072-Bit-Schlüssel.
Organisation vorabvalidieren
Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Organisation, mit der Sie Ihr CS-Zertifikat verknüpfen möchten, vorab für die CS-Organisationsvalidierung validiert wurde. In der Dropdownliste Organisation zeigen wir nur die Organisationen mit einer CS-Organisationsvalidierung an. Siehe Eine Organisation vorab validieren lassen.
Domäne vorabvalidieren
Wenn Sie eine E-Mail-Adresse als Gegenstand eines Code-Signing-Zertifikats hinzufügen, muss die E-Mail-Adresse eine validierte Domäne enthalten. Falls Sie zum Beispiel john.doe@example.com hinzufügen möchten, muss example.com vorab validiert werden. Siehe Vorabvalidierung von Domänen: Nur vorab validierte Domänen erscheinen auf dem Bestellformular.
For example, if you want to add john.doe@example.com, make sure example.com has been validated. See Domain prevalidation.
Adding an email address is optional. Depending on how your account was set up, you may be unable to add an email address to your Code Signing certificate.
CSR generieren
Falls Sie Ihr CS-Zertifikat (Code Signing) mit der Sun Java-Plattform verwenden, müssen Sie ein CSR (Certificate Signing Request) mit Ihrer Bestellung einreichen. Sie können jedoch für jede Plattform eine CSR einreichen.
Zur Sicherheit müssen Zertifikate einen RSA 3072-Bit- oder ECC P-256-Bit-Schlüssel oder eine größere Schlüssellänge verwenden. Anweisungen zur Erstellung einer CSR für verschiedene Betriebssysteme und Plattformen finden Sie unter CSR für eine Code-Signing-Zertifikatsanforderung erstellen.
Bestellen Ihres CS-Zertifikats
In the left main menu, hover over Request a Certificate , then under Code Signing Certificates, select Code Signing.
On the Request a Code Signing Certificate page, in the For dropdown, select the division to manage the certificate.
The For dropdown only appears if your account uses Divisions.

Gültigkeitszeitraum
Wählen Sie eine Laufzeit für das Zertifikat: 1 Jahr, 2 Jahre oder 3 Jahre.
If needed, you can customize the expiration date or certificate length. However, you cannot exceed the 39-month maximum code signing certificate validity.
Signatur-Hash
To set up automatic renewal for this code signing order, check Auto-renew order 30 days before expiration.
Sofern Sie keinen bestimmten Grund für die Wahl eines anderen Signatur-Hashwerts haben, empfiehlt DigiCert, den Standardsignatur-Hashwert zu verwenden: SHA-256.

Provisioning options
The provisioning method refers to where you will store the private key and certificate. For the security of your Code Signing certificate, the certificate must be installed on and used from an approved device.
Select the storage device for your Code Signing certificate and its' private key.
DigiCert-provided hardware token
DigiCert ships a secure token with instructions for installing the certificate on your token. So you can start signing code.
Then, under Shipping address, add your shipping information: your name and the address where you want us to send the hardware token.
Use existing token
After DigiCert issues your code signing certificate, install the certificate on your token.
In the Platform dropdown, select the type of hardware token on which you plan to install your Code Signing certificate:
SafeNet eToken 5110 CC for RSA 4096-bit and ECC P-256-bit or higher key certificates.
SafeNet eToken 5110 FIPS for ECC P-256 and P-384-bit key certificates.
SafeNet eToken 5110+ FIPS for RSA 4096-bit and ECC P-256-bit or higher key certificates.
Wichtig
You must have a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 or Common Criteria EAL4+ compliant device. See Currently Supported eTokens. You cannot install the certificate on any device not on the list.
Need an approved token?
Please select DigiCert-provided hardware token to have a token shipped to you. If you have questions, please contact DigiCert Support.
Install on HSM
After DigiCert issues your code signing certificate, install it on the HSM where you generated the private key and CSR.
