Digital Shrink Wrap to Protect Your Brand
Symantec Code Signing Certificates provide a virtual "shrink wrap" for secure delivery of content over the Internet. When customers encounter add-ins, templates or other VBA macros digitally signed and verified by Symantec, they can be assured of the content source and the content integrity. Code Signing adds a level of trust to your applications and makes them harder to falsify or damage, protecting your brand and your intellectual property. Learn more: Five Reasons for Code Signing.
Increase Customer Confidence with Fewer Security Warnings
When Microsoft Office and other programs encounter VBA macros, the programs look for a digital signature from a trusted source. Depending on the software version and individual security settings, the program may interrupt the user with a security warning or simply fail to load the macro. To prevent disruption, publishers who use add-ins, macros, and other executables should sign their code using a Symantec Code Signing Certificate for Microsoft VBA and Office. Learn more: How Code Signing Works.
Make the Most of Your Code Signing Investment
With Symantec Code Signing Certificates, developers select a platform, a validity period and install the certificate on their desktop or a portable device such as a USB drive. A timestamp option shows when code was signed, allowing customers to verify that the code signing certificate was valid at the time of the digital signature. Symantec is a trusted provider of digital certificates for Microsoft Windows® Logo programs. Learn more about Code Signing for Microsoft Developers.
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.
