Digital Signing for Application and Software Developers
Th5
A digital signature guarantees the authenticity of an electronic document or message. In the software industry, code signing it provides an added layer of security and confidence that you’re using a code that comes from an original vendor and not a third party that may have maliciously altered the code.
Code signing lets you know that the application has not been tampered with since it was signed and is safe to install and run on your computer.
Code signing certificates and timestamps
When applying a digital signature, the use of a timestamp is highly recommended. The time stamp ensures that a digital signature is still recognized as valid even after the digital certificate expires. Read our article to better understand what digital signature timestamp is and why it is very important in electronic application signature.
