From: Jamal on 12 Jul 2008 18:06 Greetings, Do you use a Code Signing Certificate to sign your installation programs, DLL, etc? There is VeriSign, Thawte and others. I am looking for recommendations on which one to use considering features and price and trust worthiness. Thanks, Jamal
From: Geoff Schaller on 12 Jul 2008 20:33 Jamal, Go by price alone. In essence, any of the CAs are adequate. The price is defined by the indemnity offered and the term of that indemnity. There are any number of cheap certificates around so you basically pay for the strength of the encryption and the amount of insurance behind it. You are generally buying a certificate under your server so if it is to sign DLLs etc, I'd just go for the $100 ones. If you were protecting multi-million dollar military secrets then I'd possibly go for something a little more sophisticated. What is your application worth?
