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

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

  1. In the left main menu, hover over Request a Certificate , then under Code Signing Certificates, select Code Signing.

  2. 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.

Zertifikatseinstellungen

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    Tipp

    If your certificate still has validity remaining before it expires, DigiCert adds the remaining validity to your new certificate (up to 39 months).

Organization

  1. Add an organization.

    Select Add organization

    You can add an existing organization from your account or a new organization. The new organization will be added to your account. However, DigiCert must complete the code signing validation for the selected or new organization before we can issue your certificate.
