Compatibility of Cloud-HSM

It offers full compatibility with Cloud Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) to ensure the secure storage and management of cryptographic keys. Storing private keys in tamper-evident cloud- HSMs reduces the risk of unauthorized access and compromise.

Eliminate Unknown Publisher Warning

Using the DigiCert EV Code Signing certificate for your software package ensures the removal of “Unknown Publisher” warnings on Windows OS. This security warning appears as a popup message that triggers when a user downloads software or apps that are not signed with a code signing certificates.

Real-time Timestamping

Timestamping is a type of digital stamp that guarantees users that even if the software’s certificate has expired, it remains a trusted package to download. The timestamp is a digital signature that integrates the current date and time, helping to build digital trust in your software.

DigiCert EV Code Signing FAQs

Can I use an HSM with DigiCert EV Code Signing?

When using DigiCert EV Code Signing, you can opt for a Hardware Security Module – either physical or cloud-based to store your private key in a controlled, tamper-resistant environment. This setup makes key compromise almost impossible, offering higher protection for your signing credentials.

Why is timestamping important in DigiCert EV Code Signing?

A timestamp is a digital imprint that records the exact time your software was signed. It ensures the signature remains valid even after the certificate itself expires. This means users can continue to trust and install your application without warning messages, making timestamping essential for long-term software integrity.

Can I use my existing USB token with DigiCert EV Code Signing Certificate?

Yes, your hardware token must meet the security criteria such as, FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliance to use your existing token. If you already have a compatible token like the SafeNet eToken 5110, simply select “My Own Qualified Hardware Token” at checkout and skip the added cost of a new device.

How long does it take to get a DigiCert EV Code Signing Certificate?

You can expect to get DigiCert EV Code Signing Certificate within 5 to 7 business days provided the extended validation is cleared. The vetting includes business verification, phone confirmation, and sometimes domain checks. After approval, the certificate is delivered based on the method selected: DigiCert’s token, your own qualified token, or HSM-based storage.

What is the difference between standard code signing and DigiCert EV Code Signing?

The core difference lies in the validation level and the trust it commands. Standard code signing confirms the publisher’s identity but may still trigger SmartScreen warnings on Windows. Whereas, DigiCert EV Code Signing involves strict extended validation. Along with displaying a verified organization name in the signature, it helps build SmartScreen reputation faster.

How do I sign my software with a DigiCert EV Code Signing Certificate?

After the certificate is issued, tools like Microsoft SignTool, signtool.exe, or jarsigner can be used to apply digital signature. The verified organization name gets embedded into the software signature, and optionally a timestamp can also be added. This confirms authenticity and the software remains trusted, even if the certificate later expires.

Will DigiCert EV Code Signing improve my SmartScreen reputation?

Microsoft SmartScreen uses reputation scoring to evaluate whether a file is safe to run. DigiCert EV Code Signing helps you build that reputation faster by including a verified publisher identity with every signature. While SmartScreen still tracks other trust signals like download volume, EV-signed software is far less likely to be flagged and gains user trust more quickly—especially on newer Windows systems.
