What is Microsoft Authenticode?
Microsoft Authenticode and Netscape Object signing are both technologies for digitally signing and distributing code and objects. There are some significant technological, feature, and market differences between the two approaches. VeriSign encourages its customers to become informed about both technologies, so as to make an informed decision about which approach to support. VeriSign provides Software Publisher ID’s for both Microsoft Authenticode and Netscape Object Signing. Many of our customers choose to use both approaches.
