Ordina un certificato di firma codice

New private key storage requirements

On May 30, 2023, DigiCert updated our private key storage requirements for code signing certificate private keys, per industry standards. All private keys for code signing certificates must be stored on hardware certified as Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+, or equivalent.

For more information, see our knowledge base articles:

Prima di iniziare

  • Preconvalida organizzazione

    Assicurati che l’organizzazione a cui vuoi associare il certificato di firma codice (CS) sia stata pre-convalidata per la convalida CS Organization. Nel menu a discesa Organizzazione, elenchiamo solo le organizzazioni con una convalida CS Organization. Consulta Invia un’organizzazione per la pre-convalida.

  • Preconvalida dominio

    Quando si aggiunge un indirizzo e-mail come soggetto di un certificato di firma codice, l’indirizzo e-mail deve includere un dominio convalidato. Ad esempio, se vuoi aggiungere mario.rossi@esempio.com, devi pre-convalidare esempio.com. Consulta Pre-convalida dominio. Solo i domini pre-convalidati sono visualizzati nel modulo d’ordine.

    For example, if you want to add john.doe@example.com, make sure example.com has been validated. See our domain prevalidation instructions.

    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.

  • Genera CSR

    Se utilizzerai il certificato di firma codice (CS) con la piattaforma Sun Java, devi inviare una richiesta di firma certificato (CSR) insieme all’ordine. Tuttavia, puoi includere una CSR con l’ordine per qualsiasi piattaforma.

    Per restare protetti i certificati devono usare una chiave RSA 3072 da bit o ECC P da 256 bit o più grande. Per trovare istruzioni sulla creazione di una CSR per diversi sistemi operativi e diverse piattaforme, consultaCrea CSR per una richiesta certificato di firma codice.

Ordina il tuo certificato CS

  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 menu, select the division to manage the certificate.

    The For menu appears if your account uses Divisions.

Impostazioni certificato

  1. Periodo di validità

    Seleziona un periodo di validità per il certificato: 1 anno, 2 anni o 3 anni.

    If needed, you may customize the expiration date or certificate length. However, you can't exceed the 39-month maximum code signing certificate validity.

  2. Hash firma

    To set up automatic renewal for this code signing order, select Auto-renew order 30 days before expiration.

    A meno che tu non abbia un motivo specifico per scegliere un hash di firma diverso, DigiCert raccomanda di usare l’hash di firma predefinito: SHA-256.

    Importante

    If your certificate has validity remaining before it expires, DigiCert adds the 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 is added to your account. However, DigiCert must finish the code signing validation for the selected or new organization before we can issue your certificate.
