Instead, it&nbsp;relies on&nbsp;a&nbsp;proven Public Key Cryptography&nbsp;system that allows a third-party certificate authority, like&nbsp;Sectigo&nbsp;(previously Comodo CA), to authenticate the publisher and hash the codes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Microsoft Authenticode, you can sign all sorts of Windows executables and code including .exe, .cab, .dll, .ocx, and .xpi\u00a0files\u00a0in\u00a032- and 64-bit user-mode.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Authenticode Certificate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Authenticode certificates are issued by Microsoft to authenticate and hash the program or code developed by the applicant. The certificate is issued by Microsoft, but the validation and hashing are done by a publicly trusted certificate authority (CA) like Sectigo. The Authenticode certificate ensures the user that the code originated from the legitimate source and has not been tampered with since its release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does an Authenticode Code Signing certificate work?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 2 main pillars of Authenticode code signing certificates. Identity verification and Integrity assurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Identity Verification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Publicly trusted certificate authorities verify the identity of the applicant before signing the code signing certificate. That\u2019s how the users can be&nbsp;confident that they know&nbsp;where the software is coming from and who the original publisher&nbsp;is.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The certificate authorities verify the applicant company\u2019s business registration details, address, and telephone number.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Individual developers&nbsp;must&nbsp;provide&nbsp;a notarized form to validate&nbsp;their&nbsp;government-issued photo identification and complete a phone call verification.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When users try to download software, device drivers, applications, executables, or scripts without a code signing certificate, the browser and\/or&nbsp;operating system show the publisher\u2019s name as \u201cUnknown\u201d along with&nbsp;a security warning&nbsp;such as&nbsp;\u201c<em>Do you want this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device<\/em>?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the software is signed by a code signing certificate, the publisher&#8217;s name appears&nbsp;in the dialogue box and the users won&#8217;t see a security warning like above.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image-7.png\" alt=\"Microsoft Authenticode Certificates\" class=\"wp-image-467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image-7.png 684w, https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image-7-300x129.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.  Integrity Assurance&nbsp; <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the software publisher finishes the final version of code, Authenticode allows them to put a digital signature on the entire code.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;Microsoft Authenticode Code Signing certificate&nbsp;<strong>hashes t<\/strong><strong>he file along with the&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>digital signature<\/strong>&nbsp;of the publisher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hashing means condensing the data by using mathematical functions\/algorithm. It is like putting a seal on a physical product. Hash values are unique. So, if there is the slightest change in the software, the hash value changes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone tries to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack and modifies the codes or inserts the malware\/viruses, the hash value of the digital signature changes. That&#8217;s how the browser and operating system know that the executable has&nbsp;been tampered with and they show a warning message to users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malicious software, applications, and scripts are highly dangerous and can corrupt&nbsp;your&nbsp;entire computer or cell phone, or even your entire company network. Authenticode technology not only saves the users from downloading an infected piece of software but also warns the publisher to do the damage control before&nbsp;its&nbsp;too late.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Authenticode Code Signing&nbsp;Certificates: Comparison&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Sectigo&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>OV&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Code Signing Certificate<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Sectigo&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>EV&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Code Signing&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Certificate<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Price for 1 year<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/code-signing\/sectigo-code-signing-certificate\">$99\/year<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/code-signing\/sectigo-ev-code-signing-certificate\">$349.80\/year&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Price for 2 year<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/code-signing\/sectigo-code-signing-certificate\">$89\/yea<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/code-signing\/sectigo-code-signing-certificate\">r&nbsp;<\/a><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/code-signing\/sectigo-ev-code-signing-certificate\">$306\/year&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Hashing algorithm length<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>256-bit&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>256-bit&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Money-Back Guarantee<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>30 Days&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>30 Days<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Private keys on&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>external hardware<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;for 2-factor verification<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>NO<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Supports&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Microsoft Authenticode<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Microsoft Silverlight<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Adobe AIR<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Java<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Apple OS X Signing<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Mozilla<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
