Provisioning & Key Storage for DigiCert OV Code Signing
Your private key must remain protected in compliant hardware-backed storage. SSL2BUY offers three delivery methods for this certificate — pick the one that matches where your team already signs code.
Hardware Security Module (HSM)
Generate and protect the private key in a compatible on-premises or cloud HSM. This option adds no delivery cost to the certificate order.
DigiCert-Provided Hardware Token
Have DigiCert ship a compatible signing token with the order. The current listed token add-on is £90
Your Own Qualified Hardware Token
Use a hardware token you already own, provided it meets DigiCert’s key-protection requirements. No delivery fee applies to this option.
Best Fit for DigiCert OV Code Signing Certificate
Built for organizations signing applications, installers, libraries, scripts, and internal tools under a verified company name, with hardware-backed private key storage and more than one way to provision the signing key.
Verified Organization Name
Place your validated business name behind signed software so supported signature dialogs can identify the publisher instead of showing an unidentified source.
Multiple Key-Storage Paths
Use a DigiCert-provided hardware token, your own qualified hardware token, an HSM, or an eligible cloud-HSM configuration based on the signing environment.
Cross-Platform Signing
Support common software-signing workflows across Microsoft Authenticode, Java, Microsoft Office, Adobe AIR, VBA, and related development environments.
Timestamped Release Continuity
Add trusted timestamps to signed releases so signature validity can be preserved after the signing certificate itself expires, subject to platform validation rules.
