Which Verisign code signing certificate do I need?
Code and content signing is based on public key cryptography. A developer or software publisher uses a private key to add a digital signature to code or content. Software platforms and applications use a public key to decrypt the signature during download and compares the hash used to sign the application against the hash of the downloaded application. Signed code from a trusted source may be automatically accepted or a security warning may require the end user to view the signature information and decide whether or not to trust the code.
