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.

在您開始前

Important

業界轉移到適用於代碼簽署憑證的 RSA 3072 位元金鑰

為了因應業界的變更，DigiCert 我們的代碼簽署憑證程序做出以下的變更：

  • 僅發行 RSA 3072 位元金鑰或更大的代碼簽署憑證*

  • 使用新的中繼 CA 和根憑證發行代碼簽署和 EV 代碼簽署憑證：RSA 和 ECC

*註：在 2021 年 6 月 1 前發行的所有現有的 2048 位元金鑰代碼簽署憑證將保持啟用。您可以繼續用這些憑證簽署代碼，直到其到期為止。

瞭解更多有關 3072 位元金鑰代碼簽署憑證的變更的資訊。

  • 預先驗證組織

    確定您要與您的 Code Signing (CS) 憑證關聯的組織已經過 CS 組織驗證的預先驗證。在組織下拉清單中，我們僅列出已進行「CS 組織」驗證的組織。請參閱提交組織進行預先驗證。

  • 預先驗證網域

    新增電郵地址作為代碼簽署憑證的主旨時，電郵地址必須包括已驗證的網域。例如，如果您想要新增 john.doe@example.com，您必須預先驗證 example.com。請參閱網域預先驗證。僅預先驗證的網域會出現在訂購表上。

    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.

  • 產生 CSR

    如果您將使用您的 Code Signing (CS) 憑證與 Sun Java 平台，您必須連同您的訂單提交憑證簽署要求 (CSR)。但您可以連同您的訂單納入用於任何平台的 CSR。

    為了保持安全，憑證必須使用 RSA 3072 位元或 ECC P-256 位或更大的金鑰。如需與建立不同作業系統和平台的 CSR 有關的說明，請參閱建立代碼簽署憑證要求的 CSR。

訂購您的 CS 憑證

  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.

憑證設定

  1. 有效期間

    選擇憑證的有效期間：1 年、2 年或 3 年。

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

  2. 簽署雜湊

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

    若您沒有選擇不同簽章雜湊的特定原因，DigiCert 建議使用預設的簽章雜湊：SHA-256。

Order Settings

  • 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.

      Important

      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.

      Select Yes under Was the private key generated by a Common Criteria EAL4+ standard or FIPS 140-2 level 2 HSM?

      Note that we will send the certificate requestor an agreement email. This email is to ensure that a private key is stored on an HSM that is certified as FIPS 140 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+, or equivalent. DigiCert will only issue the certificate after the requester agrees to the private key protection requirement.

      Important

      You must have a FIPS 140 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+, or equivalent hardware security module (HSM) that supports at least 3072-bit keys.

      Don't have a compatible HSM?

      Please select a different provisioning method. If you have any questions, please contact DigiCert Support.
