What is Verisign code signing and why do I need it?
Verisign Code Signing creates a digital “shrink-wrap” that shows customers the identity of the company responsible for the code and confirms that it has not been modified since the signature was applied. In traditional software sales, a buyer can confirm the source of the application and its integrity by examining the packaging. Increasingly, customers download applications online, install plug-ins and add-ins, and interact with sophisticated Web-based applications. They risk compromising their security and the functionality of existing systems if they download malicious or faulty code. VeriSign® Code Signing protects your brand and your intellectual property by making your applications identifiable and harder to falsify or damage with a digital signature.
