What changed?

As of June 1, 2023, all Code Signing Certificates must comply with the new CA/B Forum regulations to ensure that the subscriber’s private key is generated, stored, and used in a suitable FIPS-compliant hardware.

Requirements for private keys used with EV code signing certificates have been stronger than OV code signing certificates which are more relaxed.

The new rules are intended to reduce potential misuse of code signing certificates and to further protect those certificates from getting into the wrong hands by making key protection requirements for OV code signing certificates to be the same as EV code signing certificates.

As of June 1, 2023, you will no longer be able to issue your standard OV Code Signing certificates. If you have not already issued a purchased certificate, you need to take action immediately.

InstantSSL OV code signing certificates will be either:

Installed on a InstantSSL token and shipped securely to the customer
Available as a download to be installed on the customer’s own HSM. The hardware devices (e.g. tokens, HSMs, etc.) must be FIPS-compliant and support externally verifiable key attestation.

Code Signing allows software developers to add digital signatures to code and to include information about themselves and the integrity of their code within their software. The end users that download digitally signed 32-bit or 64-bit executable files (.exe, .ocx, .dll, .cab, and more) can be confident that the code really comes from a verified developer and has not been altered or corrupted since it was signed.

A code signing service is an online cloud-based solution which provides signatures for code binaries. The developer’s certificate is maintained securely in the cloud. The developer or signee does not have to send the entire file to be signed, a hash code will suffice. The service provides security, convenience, and scalability.

There are three main things which must be verified before issuance of a code signing certificate:

1. The legal existence of the organization or individual named in the Organization field of the code signing certificate must be verified.

2. The email to which the code signing certificate is to be sent must be [email protected], where domain.com is owned by the organization named in the code signing certificate.

3. A callback must be made to a verified telephone number for the organization or individual named in the code signing certificate in order to verify that the person placing the order is an authorized representative of the organization.

Code Signing certificates are installed on a physical token and shipped to your location. We can only provide full refunds for products that have not been shipped. Once a product has shipped and within 30-days from order, we will refund the product cost, less shipping and token cost.
