Provisioning & Key Storage for Prime OV Code Signing
Prime OV installs directly on a compatible HSM in your signing environment. Confirm that your HSM meets the applicable FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements before issuance, since Prime OV uses your existing hardware rather than a vendor-provided signing token.
Install on Your Existing HSM
Once validation is complete, the certificate is provisioned for your eligible HSM, where the signing key is generated and protected.
FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Compliance
Your HSM must meet the applicable FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements for secure key protection and code signing operations.
No Physical Token to Receive
Prime OV runs on the HSM infrastructure you already operate, so there’s nothing physical to receive, unbox, or wait on before you can sign.
Best Fit for Prime OV Code Signing Certificate
A practical choice when your signing environment is already equipped with an eligible HSM and you want to keep certificate costs low.
Verified Publisher Identity
Attach a validated publisher name to signed applications so supported signature dialogs identify where the code came from.

Affordable OV Code Signing
Prime OV delivers standard organization-validated signing at SSL2BUY’s lowest OV price point, without the added cost of a shipped hardware token.
