What is the difference between a Publisher ID and a Content ID?
A Publisher ID is the digital certificate you receive when you enroll for a Signing Account. It contains your organizational information and is used to digitally sign your code or content before you upload it to your account. It is also used for authentication when logging into the Signing Account portal. The Content ID is the unique Code Signing Certificate created by VeriSign when your content is signed in the Signing Account. It is the only signature that will be trusted on the end-user device for secure downloading and execution. To sign code using a Signing Account, you need to purchase a Publisher ID and a bundle of Content IDs or “signing events”.
