Digital Shrink Wrap to Protect Your Brand

VeriSign® Code Signing Certificates provide a virtual "shrink wrap" for secure delivery of content over the Internet. When customers download software with Java Signed objects, verified by VeriSign, 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 and Reduce Errors

Java platforms (J2SE and J2ME) include security features that recognise Object Signing and check for a trusted digital signature. A security warning shows the publisher's name, organisation and URL. A user chooses whether or not to trust the certificate, or views more information about the certificate. Most devices and most applications recognise VeriSign as a Certificate Authority and recommend that applications signed with a VeriSign Code Signing Certificate should be trusted.

Make the Most of your Code Signing Investment

With VeriSign Code Signing Certificates, developers select a platform and validity period, and they install the certificate on their desktop or on 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.

The Leader in Online Trust and Security

VeriSign 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 VeriSign root certificates come preinstalled on most end user devices and embedded in most applications, the digital signature authentication and verification process is seamless and transparent to most end users.
