Public code signing certificates

Publicly trusted code signing certificates:

  • Follow strict CA/B forum guidelines

  • Are issued by DigiCert (a third-party trusted certificate authority) which allows your software to be universally trusted by operating systems.

  • Contains verified information about your organization.

When a user downloads software signed with a publicly trusted certificate, the operating system confirms it was published by a legitimate, trusted entity.

Note

A CertCentral account is required to order publicly trusted certificates.

Note

For publicly trusted code signing certificates, P-521 curves aren't supported.
