Geo Trust DigiCert Code Signing [...], $ 44.00/mo. on SSL Certificates

DigiCert Code Signing Certificates, offered alongside GeoTrust products, are designed to help software publishers and development teams prove the integrity and origin of their code so that users, app stores and operating systems can trust their downloads. By digitally signing applications, drivers, firmware, containers and other binaries with a code signing certificate, you create a cryptographic link between the software and your verified identity, making it possible for platforms to detect tampering and display fewer security warnings. The product supports both organisation validated and extended validation workflows so that you can meet standard publishing requirements or the stricter policies used for signing Microsoft Windows drivers and other sensitive components. Storage options include DigiCert KeyLocker cloud based secure key hosting as well as hardware tokens and hardware security modules that meet FIPS 140 2 Level 2 or similar standards, ensuring that private keys are kept in protected, non exportable form. Pricing starts from a lower monthly rate for the base configuration, billed as a 12 month subscription per certificate, with higher price tiers for more advanced combinations such as EV with specific key storage options; all of this is presented in a simple subscription interface where you can adjust validation type, storage and quantity. Each subscription includes 24x5 standard support and access to the DigiCert CertCentral management portal, which lets you track issued certificates, manage approvals and integrate code signing into build and release pipelines.

The Code Signing Certificates offering is framed as a core part of DigiCerts digital trust platform exposed through the GeoTrust website, with an emphasis on both security and developer experience. Feature highlights include multi factor authentication for signing operations, identity verification focused on protecting intellectual property, timestamping to ensure that signatures remain valid and auditable even after certificates expire, and signing authorisation controls when using HSM backed keys so only approved personnel can sign code. The product is designed to fit into modern CI and DevOps environments, with documented support for platforms such as Apache ANT and Maven, Azure DevOps, CircleCI, GitLab, Gradle and Jenkins, and for client side libraries including Apple CryptoTokenKit, Microsoft KSP, PKCS11 and SmartCard Daemon. Marketplace integrations make it easier to publish signed code to ecosystems like Azure Visual Studio Marketplace and GitHub while maintaining strong key security. Through CertCentral, organisations can manage code signing certificates alongside TLS and other credentials, set policies for who can request or use certificates and keep an audit trail of signing activity. Customers benefit from regional phone and email support during the 24x5 support window, along with detailed FAQs explaining code signing concepts, new CA/B Forum regulations on key storage and practical setup steps for secure tokens and HSMs. Altogether, DigiCert Code Signing Certificates aim to reduce warnings, meet platform requirements and give end users confidence that software has not been altered since it left the development pipeline.
