After a signing certificate has expired, does the object continue to be trusted?

0

Signed objects are stored and used long-term, well after the certificates used for signing have expired. Although certificates expire, valid signatures do not. Signature validation is based on the date of the signature rather than the time verification occurs. If a certificate chain was valid at signing, Communicator will continue to recognize the signature even after certificates in that chain expire.
