Symantec Authentic Document IDs for BREW® allow BREW developers to digitally notarise their BREW applications from the desktop. With a right-click of your document, developers generate a digital receipt with a fingerprint of the file, a timestamp, the authenticated identity of the publisher, and verification by Symantec.
- Protect your BREW applications by digitally signing your code
- Required for commercial BREW developers
- Non-repudiable proof of document content, source, and a timestamp
- Become an authenticated BREW Developer

Digitally Notarise Applications for the BREW Developer Network
Symantec Authentic Document IDs for BREW embed a signed fingerprint (hash) of the original document into a digital notarisation receipt, timestamped by Symantec. When customers download notarised BREW software, authenticated by Symantec, they can be assured of the content source and the content integrity. Because every fingerprint is different, any changes will be immediately discovered when the digital receipt is verified. Learn more: Five Reasons for Code Signing.
Increase Customer Confidence and Protect Your IP
The original contents of your document are never exposed when you transmit your digital notarisation request over the Internet. The hashing algorithms used to create document fingerprints are "one-way": you can create a hash from a document, but you cannot recreate the document from a hash. Saving a signed copy of your document's fingerprint (hash) on Symantec's secure database gives you the benefit of third-party verification of your document.
The Leader in Online Trust and Security
Symantec supports more platforms than any other code signing provider with the most reliable infrastructure and the most trusted security brand on the Internet (Tec-Ed Whitepaper, PDF, Oct. 2007). Because Symantec root certificates come preinstalled on most end users' devices and embedded in most applications, the digital signature authentication and verification process is seamless and transparent to most end users.
