Features and Benefits of Sectigo EV CODE Signing certificates

Application security

Code Signing Certificate maintains code integrity and prevents the misuse of the SW company name to distribute counterfeit software or modify code.

Distribution support

Signed applications help increase download numbers and sales revenue. Increased trust helps expand distribution channels for your software.

Customer confidence

Signed software protects customers from malware and other malicious threats. A digital signature protects and reassures customers that the integrity of the code they have downloaded is ensured and that the program is intact, not damaged, or altered in any way. Increased trust promotes better user perception of the application.

Authenticity

Once downloaded, the user is sure that the code obtained actually comes from you as the publisher, which ensures the company's reputation. Code Signing Certificates allow customers to identify the author of a digitally signed code, making sure the program is from the company that is expected.

Seamless integration

The offered Code Signing certificates can be used for Windows, MacOS and iOS operating systems without any problems. All certification authorities work with companies such as Microsoft or Apple and follow their recommendations and policies for issuing certificates according to the CA/Browser Forum.

Extended Validated CODE certificate

EV Code Signing entails extensive vetting of the applicant

The Code EV certificate is intended for corporate customers only and is issued after thorough validation of the applicant. The certification authority verifies the existence of the company and the address, most often in the company register. If the company is less than 3 years old, it may request additional documents. It also requires verification of the person of the certificate applicant, who is validated by the authority by phone. At the same time, the existence of the company's telephone number is verified from a publicly accessible database. After verification of all the information, the certification authority performs validation by phone. First the administrative contact and finally the company contact. If everything is in order, the certificate is subsequently issued.

The token is sent by a delivery service (DHL, UPS, etc.). The client receives a tracking code with additional information.

How long it takes to get the Sectigo EV CODE Signing certificate
