Entrust Code Signing Certificates

Often disguised as legitimate software, malicious malware can be easily distributed to infect unsuspecting desktops with viruses or to install applications to facilitate fraud.

To help thwart the advance of this trend, Entrust Code Signing Certificates allow users to authenticate the source and verify the content integrity of code that is downloaded from the Internet.

Trusted

The digital equivalent of a tamper-proof seal, these trusted digital certificates provide assurance that customers are installing code or applications as they were intended.

Entrust Code Signing Certificates can digitally certify and sign Authenticode, Java, Microsoft® Office® macros and Visual Basic script.

Entrust Code Signing Certificates

Overview

A recent study demonstrated that fake antivirus software can infect millions of PCs after disguising itself as a legitimate software security solution. As a result, end-users have become better informed about the dangers of installing rogue software on their PCs. By deploying code-signing digital certificates, operating system vendors can assure PC users that their software is legitimate.

Entrust Code Signing Certificates enable this assurance by allowing users to authenticate the source and verify the content integrity of code that is downloaded from the Internet. When an Entrust Code Signing Certificate is used, the name of the software publisher is clearly shown when a user attempts to download the file or application.

These specialized digital certificates are available through the Entrust Certificate Management Service to enable efficient management, deployment, renewal and tracking — all from a single user interface.
