Code Signing Certificates

Summary

Code signing certificates are digital certificates that verify the authenticity and integrity of software and code.

Detailed Description

Code signing certificates enable developers to sign their software and applications, assuring users that the code has not been altered and is from a verified source. This process helps prevent tampering and increases user trust in the software being installed. Code signing uses public key infrastructure (PKI) to generate a unique signature that can be verified by users or systems.
