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 with Java Signed objects, 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 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 Symantec as a Certificate Authority and recommend trusting applications signed with a Symantec Code Signing Certificate. Learn more: How Code Signing Works.
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 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 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.
