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 download software signed with Authenticode® Technology 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 Internet Explorer, Exchange, Outlook®, or other Microsoft programs encounter unsigned executables, a security warning disrupts the user or content simply fails to load. To prevent disruption, publishers who use ActiveX® controls, plug-ins and other executables should sign their code using Authenticode Technology and a Symantec Code Signing Certificate for Microsoft Authenticode.

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.

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).
