Advantages of Certera EV Code Signing Certificate
Enhanced Security
The EV Code Signing certificate employs two-factor authentication, requiring a PIN to access the private key stored in a USB hardware token (HSM/TPM) with FIPS 140 Level 2. This prevents unauthorized access and ensures the private key remains protected.
Code Credibility
The certificate ensures that it has not been altered since the code was digitally signed. End consumers gain trust since they know the software package is authentic and hasn't been maliciously updated.
Enhanced User Trust
By using the EV Code Signing certificate, users may confirm the publisher's identity and ensure the code's integrity. As a result, worries regarding unidentified or suspect software origins are diminished.
Time Stamping
Time stamping guarantees that the program code continues to function even though it has run its course (completed its validation period). This eliminates the concern of code expiry and enables the software to run without a hitch.
Improved Download Experience
With the EV Code Signing certificate, the software is recognized as secure, leading to increased downloads and a positive reputation for the publisher.
Rigorous Validation Process
The Certera EV Code Signing certificate undergoes a strict validation process that verifies the publisher's identity. This validation process includes verifying the organization's name, legal and physical existence, and other pertinent information.
Universal Compatibility
It is compatible with various platforms, including MS Authenticode, Adobe AIR, Apple, Mozilla, VBA and Microsoft Office Macros, Java, and more. This ensures seamless integration with different software tools and environments.
Displays Business Title & Location
After the code has been digitally signed with this EV Code Signing certificate, users can confirm its validity using trust indicators such as the company's title and physical location contained with the digital signature.
100% Repayment
After your Certera EV Code Signing certificate is given, you have 30 days to decide whether or not to cancel it. If you do, you'll receive a 100% repayment. You may discontinue this EV certificate after the first 30 days, but no reimbursement will be given.
Certera EV Code Signing Certificate Delivery Methods
Beginning June 1st, 2023, it is necessary to comply with the new guidelines established by the Certificate Authority/Browser Forum for the issuance of Code Signing Certificates. These guidelines require the use of secure hardware storage devices, such as Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), Hardware storage tokens, or Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), that meet the highest security standards like FIPS 140 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+, or their equivalents, for generating, storing, and utilizing private keys.
To comply with the updated guidelines set by the Certificate Authority/Browser Forum, it is recommended to utilize USB Token for storing cryptographic keys. You can use our flexible and dependable solutions for secure key storage. These solutions are designed to seamlessly integrate into your existing workflows and offer peace of mind while maintaining efficiency.
Delivery Method 1: Get a USB Token Delivered to Your Door
We provide convenient shipping choices for both local and global locations, ensuring that the USB token reaches your doorstep with ease. Our pricing options are varied, allowing you to select the most suitable one based on your specific needs.
Token + US Delivery: For a cost-effective fee of $80.00, have the USB token securely shipped to any location within the United States.

Take advantage of the secure cloud environment equipped with Hardware Security Module (HSM) capabilities and centralize your private key storage, making it easily accessible for your distributed development teams.
What is FIPS 140-2 Hardware Token?
FIPS 140-2 is a Federal standard in the US and Canada. This standard acts as an essential safety precaution and a trustworthy best practice for corporations pursuing solid security solutions. FIPS 140-2 has four security stages, ranging from level 1, indicating the lowest degree of security, to level 4, indicating the most advanced form of protection possible.
As CA/B forum introduced new regulation for standard code signing certificates, subscriber or user should use FIPS 140-2 (or higher level) compliance hardware token to generate and store CSR, and private keys. There are multiple options for users such as they can acquire FIPS 140-2 token directly from Certificate Authority by paying extra amount along with the certificate cost, or you can use your own hardware token.
A FIPS 140-2 hardware token is a tiny electronic gadget that stores and shields confidential data such as CSR, intermediate certificate, private keys. These tokens are intended to fulfill the security criteria stated in FIPS 140-2 and are frequently used in conjunction with code signing certificates to certify the reliability of software and that it has not been modified since its release.
What is HSM (Hardware Security Module in Code Signing)?
A Hardware Security Module, or HSM, is a sophisticated physical hardware device that assures the safe completion of data encryption procedures. It handles various functions such as managing cryptographic private keys, encrypting and managing their lifecycle, generating and validating digital signatures, certificate signing request (CSR), etc. Personal Computer Security Modules (PCSMs), Secure Application Modules (SAMs), and hardware cryptographic modules are other names for HSMs.
HSM devices come in a broad range of types, ranging from USB sticks and plug-in cards to massive external devices. Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are incredibly secure since they have a hardened operating system and limited network access regulated by a firewall. HSMs are frequently used to:
- Outperform existing and upcoming regulations regarding cybersecurity.
- Acquire higher degrees of data assurance and confidence.
- Maintain high standards of service and agility in business.
Why do you need HSM (Hardware Security Module) for your Code Signing?
Hardware Security Module (HSMs) are crucial for code signing certificates because they keep the private keys that is needed to sign the software extremely safe. An essential step in the code signing process is the private key. It might be used to sign malicious software and lead to various issues if it falls into the wrong hands. By keeping the private key on a tamper-proof device entirely independent of the signing server, HSMs help prevent this. In this manner, the private key is kept safe and secure even if the signing server is compromised.
The technique of code signing is also greatly facilitated by HSMs. The signature server may concentrate on other critical activities, such as overseeing the code signing method and confirming the rightfulness of the program being signed, by letting the HSM handle all the cryptography. This can significantly enhance system performance as a whole and lower the possibility of mistakes or delays during code signing.
By employing HSMs for code signing certificates will assist in guaranteeing that your company complies with all data security laws and policies. HSMs are generally hardware components that have undergone validation and meet industry requirements.
