Symantec Code Signing Certificates provide a virtual "shrink wrap" for secure delivery of content over mobile networks. To protect subscribers from faulty or malicious content while offering the latest innovations in software applications, mobile platforms and network providers have established code signing requirements for developers and software publishers. With a single account on Symantec Code Signing Portal, multiple developers from the same organization can sign applications for delivery on the Windows Mobile® platform.

Secure Web-based Portal for Managing Normal and Privileged Access
A developer uses a Publisher ID to sign code and upload it to Symantec. Symantec validates the digital signature and generates a unique Content ID with the publisher's credentials and application information as well as an audit trail. For Windows Privileged Access, eligible publishers send the code to a testing house and track the status of the code approval online. Symantec Code Signing makes your applications harder to falsify or damage and easier to recall without effecting other published applications. Learn more: How Code Signing Works.
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.
