Benefits of a VeriSign Code Signing Certificate for Microsoft Authenticode
A Code Signing Certificate enables your company to establish ownership of code by digitally signing 32-bit or 64-bit user-mode (.exe, .cab, .dll, .ocx, .msi, and .xpi files) and kernel-mode software. If you develop software or publish applications that require hardware logo signatures, driver reliability signatures, driver verification testing or software logo certification, you need a code signing certificate to participate in a Windows Logo program.
Digital Shrink Wrap to Protect Your Brand
VeriSign® Code Signing Certificates provide a virtual “shrink wrap” for secure delivery of content over the Internet. When customers download software signed with Authenticode® Technology and verified by VeriSign, they can be assured of the content source and the content integrity. Code Signing adds a level of trust to your applications and makes them harder to falsify or damage, protecting your brand and your intellectual property. Learn more: 5 Reasons for Code Signing.
Increase Customer Confidence with Fewer Security Warnings
When Internet Explorer®, Exchange, Outlook®, or other Microsoft programs encounter unsigned executables, a security warning disrupts the user or content simply fails to load. To prevent disruption, publishers who use ActiveX® controls, plug-ins and other executables should sign their code using Authenticode Technology and a VeriSign Code Signing Certificate for Microsoft Authenticode.

Make the Most of your Code Signing Investment
With VeriSign Code Signing Certificates, developers select a platform, a validity period and install the certificate on their desktop or a portable device such as a USB drive. The timestamp shows when code was signed, allowing customers to verify that the code signing certificate was valid at the time of the digital signature. VeriSign is a trusted provider of digital certificates for Microsoft Windows Logo programs. Learn more about Code Signing for Microsoft Developers.
