What do users see when they encounter signed code?
When a user encounters unsigned code, a security warning pops up or content fails to load, depending on the browser and security settings. Warnings create doubt and confusion for users and often result in support calls to the publisher or developer. When signed code is encountered, a pop-up notification shows the verified identity of the publisher and the user decides whether or not to trust the code. With a Thawte® Code Signing Certificate, your code will be as safe and trustworthy to customers as shrink-wrapped software from a store shelf.
