Code Signing Certificates frequently use digital signatures to verify identify of the content’s creator, as well as confirming that the content has not been tampered with since it was originally distributed. With the rapid growth of content distribution thanks to the Internet, code signing is absolutely critical for securing the delivery of content to the consumer. Code Signing Certificates with digital signatures allow publishes to sign .exe, .cab, .dll, and .ocx files; Java Applets and MIDlets; Microsoft Office documents with macros; and Apple desktop applications.
Thawte does not certify the content of a software publisher’s code. Code signing certificates are only used to verify the publisher who signed the content and that the content has not been altered or corrupted.
