EV Code Signing with Azure Key Vault for Enterprise Trust & Cloud Security
Azure Key Vault EV Code Signing Certificate is designed for security teams that can’t compromise on publisher identity or key custody. Extended validation adds a rigorous, face-to-face/verified organizational vetting step and restricts private-key handling to certified hardware. With Azure Key Vault Managed HSM, your EV key is created, used and protected entirely in Microsoft’s hardware security boundary.
Use it to sign desktop apps, services, MSIX packages, .NET assemblies, PowerShell scripts, and drivers (including submissions to Microsoft for driver signing). You get clean separation of duties, tamper-evident time-stamps, and complete traceability of who signed what, backed by Azure logs.

Azure Key Vault EV Code Signing in 5 Steps
1
Complete EV Validation
Undergo CA verification of your organization and authorized signer.
2
Provision Managed HSM
Set up an Azure Managed HSM (FIPS 140-2 Level 3) for key storage.
3
Generate EV Key & CSR
Create the private key inside HSM and generate a CSR within Azure.
4
Submit CSR & Import Certificate
Pass validation and import the signed EV certificate into Managed HSM.
5
Sign with Azure Tools
Use AzureSignTool or SignTool with Managed HSM credentials and RFC 3161 timestamping.
Benefits of EV Code Signing in Microsoft Azure Key Vault
EV-Verified Publisher Identity
An EV certificate displays your organization’s verified legal name on every signature. That visible identity is what separates you from unknown or suspicious publishers. Instead of users seeing a generic “Unknown Publisher” warning, they see confirmation that the application comes directly from your organization.
Hardware-Secured Key Protection
All keys are generated and stored inside Microsoft’s Managed HSM (FIPS 140-2 Level 3). As the key never leaves hardware, there’s no risk of duplication, export or compromise through local storage.
Driver and Kernel Mode Signing
Microsoft requires EV certificates for signing Windows drivers. They are also accepted across operating systems for kernel-level code, ensuring smooth installation without blocking prompts.

Compliance and Audit Alignment
Every signing request is logged within Azure. These immutable records simplify compliance reporting, support forensic analysis and give teams complete visibility into how certificates are being used.
Integrated DevOps Workflows
The certificate works easily with Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions and other automation tools. You can sign executables, libraries and scripts directly in your CI/CD pipeline without manual delays.
Faster Reputation with Platforms
EV signatures help build software reputation with SmartScreen and other trust systems more quickly, reducing early adoption barriers and improving download success rates.
Strong Cryptographic Assurance
EV certificates rely on proven algorithms like RSA (3072/4096-bit) and ECC (P-256/P-384), combined with SHA-256 hashing. This advanced cryptography makes your code extremely difficult to alter or forge.
Cloud-Native Flexibility
Signing takes place in the cloud. No more shipping USB tokens or relying on a single workstation. Authorized developers can sign securely from anywhere with network access.
Azure Key Vault EV Code Signing FAQs
What makes an EV Code Signing Certificate different from OV in Azure Key Vault?
EV requires extended validation (legal entity + individual signer vetting) and mandates that the private key be generated, stored, and used within a secure crypto module (e.g., HSM) as per CA/Browser Forum standards. OV doesn’t require these stricter controls.
Will I need a USB token for EV certificates stored in Azure Key Vault?
Azure Managed HSM does not need USB tokens. It provides a FIPS-validated hardware module in the cloud and meets EV hardware storage requirements.
How long does it take to issue an EV Code Signing cert with Azure Key Vault Managed HSM?
EV issuance typically takes 3 to 7 business days. Timelines may vary as it depends on how quickly you complete the CA’s verification steps.
How does Azure Key Vault make EV code signing more secure?
With Azure Managed HSM, your private keys never leave the hardware and can’t be copied. On top of this, Azure AD with role-based access control lets you decide on who can sign.
What happens if my Azure Key Vault EV certificate expires?
If you use RFC 3161 time-stamping during signing, your code signatures remain valid even after the certificate expires.
Will an EV certificate instantly improve SmartScreen reputation?
EV certificates establish stronger publisher identity, which helps build trust with SmartScreen faster. However, they no longer guarantee instant SmartScreen reputation removal, though they’re still among the highest-trust options.
Can EV certificates be integrated into CI/CD pipelines?
EV certificates in Azure Key Vault work with tools like AzureSignTool or SignTool. You can set them up in Azure Pipelines or GitHub Actions to sign code automatically during builds.
Who can access Azure Key Vault EV Code Signing Certificate?
Access is managed through Azure AD and RBAC (role-based access control). That means you decide which team members, build agents, or services can use the certificate. Every signing action is logged, so you always know who did what.
Is Azure Key Vault EV Code Signing fit for all businesses?
It’s best for enterprises, software vendors and regulated industries that require higher identity assurance and secure key custody. It is useful especially if you’re signing drivers or software used by many people. Smaller teams may still prefer OV for simpler workflows.
