CONFIRM YOUR IDENTITY AS EDITOR AND ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR CODE / SOFTWARE
Every Internet transaction carries the risk of information between the two communication partners being intercepted, viewed, corrupted or altered. Secorio's code signing allows developers to add an extra layer of security.
Code signing certificates (also known as code signing certificates) are used to digitally sign applications and software programs. This means that the source of the file can be verified and there is certainty that it is original.
This is particularly important for publishers who distribute their software via third-party download sites over which they may have no control. Major operating systems will display an error message to end users if the software to be installed is not signed by a trusted certification authority.
