Code signing certificates allow you to digitally sign and secures software applications, whereas SSL\/TLS certificates authenticate servers and secure website connections. How exactly does code signing establish the publisher\u2019s identity and ensure an attacker hasn\u2019t modified the code? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n<p>To understand <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslsecurity.com\/blog\/code-signing-certificate-a-zenith-milestone-for-software-developers\/\">how code signing works<\/a>, we need to consider what happens at the developer\u2019s end and what happens at the users\u2019 end. The signature is applied to the application by the code author, and it is verified by the user before it gets downloaded and executed. This protects users from running a counterfeit application modified by hackers attempting to corrupt their systems or steal their data.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 0.1em; text-transform: uppercase;\">An Overview of EV Code Signing Process<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick look at code signing from the developer\u2019s end of the process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The developer purchases an EV code signing certificate from a reputable certificate authority (CA). If you\u2019re inclined to opt for a self-signed certificate, note that it won\u2019t work outside of your internal network.<\/li>\n<li>Once the due diligence is done by the CA, and the developer receives their EV code signing certificate, they can now proceed to sign their code using the private key known only to them.<\/li>\n<li>A one-way hash of the executable is generated and then encrypted using the private key. The certificate and the signed hash are attached to the executable before the software is released into the market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1314 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cheapsslsecurity.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/code-signing-picture.png\" alt=\"ev code signing process\" width=\"664\" height=\"680\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cheapsslsecurity.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/code-signing-picture.png 664w, https:\/\/cheapsslsecurity.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/code-signing-picture-293x300.png 293w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 664px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 664\/680;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>An Overview of EV Code Signing Verification Process<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick look at the signing verification process from the users\u2019 side of things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The encrypted hash is decrypted using the public key. The user obtains the key from the attached certificate that was shared along with the executable.<\/li>\n<li>The downloaded executable is hashed again to see if it matches the hash value obtained in the previous step.<\/li>\n<li>If both the hash values are a match, the file hasn\u2019t been modified since the developer last signed it.

Some of the benefits of using EV code signing certificates include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The ability to bypass the Microsoft SmartScreen filter.<\/strong> This is applicable even for new developers and improves your chances of achieving higher download rates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Being subjected to a rigorous vetting by the CA.<\/strong> This is done in accordance with the guidelines laid out by the CA\/Browser forum and Microsoft, ensures the authentication of the publisher\u2019s identity and correct implementation of file integrity checks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Greater compatibility across different platforms.<\/strong> EV code signing certificate extends support for various file formats (.dll, .exe, etc.) across multiple platforms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enhanced security to prevent unauthorized use of your digital certificate.<\/strong> The private key for the EV code signing certificate is stored on external hardware that requires two-factor authentication (2FA) for authorization to use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The ability to timestamp your code to inform users about unauthorized changes.<\/strong> EV code signing certificate comes with the option to timestamp the code to extend its validity and trust even after the certificate expires. <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslsecurity.com\/p\/steps-to-take-after-your-code-signing-certificate-is-expired\/\">This is because the timestamp allows the code to be trusted indefinitely.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>In Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For a publisher with a well-established reputation, <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslsecurity.com\/blog\/ev-code-signing-vs-regular-code-signing\/\">a code signing certificate<\/a> still holds value. It enables you to protect your users by assuring them of your file\u2019s integrity. This prevents attackers with malicious intent from modifying the code.<\/p>\n<p>For developers who\u2019re just starting out, it does that and more.
