Comodo Code Signing Certificates

Protect Your Software and Your Reputation With Comodo Code Signing Certificates

Code signing certificates allow software developers to add digital signatures to their executables, providing information about the integrity of their code and their identity. This way, when end users download digitally signed 32-bit and 64-bit executable files (.exe, .dll, .cab, and more), they can be confident that the code was signed by you and hasn’t been tampered with since – just like digital shrink wrap.

Before They Download, Your Customers Need Two Things

The internet brings with it a lot of danger as well as plenty of alternatives to your software or product. So, before your customers download your software, they’ll need to know two things:

• Confirmation that a reputable company made the software.
• Proof that what they’re downloading hasn’t been tampered with.

Together, these assurances can be the determining factor in whether you gain new users or lose them.

One Warning Can Kill a Download

Nothing kills a download faster than a browser warning stating that a software's publisher couldn't be verified. Some mobile devices won’t even give you the option to download apps from unknown sources (unless you go through extra steps). And most people aren't going to do that. If you want to convert, you need a code signing certificate. It's the only way to verify the publisher's identity.

Protect Your Software with Digital Shrink Wrap

In the days of brick and mortar stores, customers purchasing software had 'shrink wrap' assurance. That is, if the shrink wrap was intact, they felt comfortable purchasing the software. In the age of downloads, code signing has replaced shrink wrap – in addition to verifying identity, it also confirms that a piece of software comes as intended and hasn't been tampered with.
