Code signing? [modified]
-
well for a product there isn't really much choice. If you want to put 'Designed for Windows Vista' on your cover you have to sign it. http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/e/4/8e4c929d-679a-4238-8c21-2dcc8ed1f35c/Windows%20Vista%20Software%20Logo%20Spec%201.1.doc[^]

Can't argue with that one. :)

I just don't understand why microsoft authenticode certificates are so expensive (450$/year) :wtf: ??? https://securitycenter.verisign.com/celp/enroll/retail[^] Do you sign your code? where did you buy your certificate? EDIT: I have just found one a bit cheaper... 170$/year http://www.instantssl.com/code-signing/code-signing.html[^] -- modified at 20:08 Monday 5th February, 2007
Try Comodo[^]. They are similar certificates as Verisign's, and much cheaper. The code-signing certificate is only $89 per year (I think).

At our place, I sign Excel VBA macros because it is cheaper to sign than to explain (and re-explain) the warning dialog boxes. Especially when the users sit on mahogany row.

Make your own CA Cert, and let your users download it from your web site, or include it in your package. Then they will never get that message again from something you publish.
Can you explain how to do this?

I just don't understand why anyone cares. The worst software i've ever had to deal with has been either unsigned and free (adware/spyware/viruses) or unsigned and very expensive (drivers / other control software attached to hardware packages). Both seem to be doing pretty well for themselves though, so obviously signing doesn't mean jack - it's the software equivalent of wearing a pocket protector and hiking boots to impress women...

It secures the code from modification and alerts user if it is modified!
