Do you care?<\/h3>\n<p>I always considered it important to have our program clearly defined as an authentic application. There is a value in proving a file you\u2019re about to install on your computer comes from a reputable company like BillP Studios.  This is currently accomplished through the use of a code signing certificate created specifically for BillP Studios and used during the creation of WinPatrol.  Before the release of any new version I run a code signing program from Microsoft that uses two encrypted files with uniquely assigned keys to validate and identify our WinPatrol files.<\/p>\n<p>The use of code signing certificate provides anyone who downloads our program proof that their download comes from BillP Studios and isn\u2019t malware created to fool people into thinking they\u2019re downloading WinPatrol. It also prevents any changes to our files.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.billp.com\/blog\/images\/CodeSigningCertificatesAreTheyWorthIt_C350\/verifieduac_thumb.jpg\" title=\"certificates\" class=\"alignleft\" width=\"364\" height=\"206\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When someone installs WinPatrol they currently may see this dialog providing proof that the file has been \u201csigned\u201d using a certificate created for BillP Studios.  To obtain a code signing certificate BillP Studios must prove it\u2019s a legitimate company. Our name, address, phone, bank account and other assets are validated by a company that is authorized to assign certificates. In our case, the \u201ccertificate authority\u201d is VeriSign which is owned by Symantec. For a one year certificate we also have to pay a fee of $499 USD for the validation process. Since our information has remained the same over the years we\u2019re pretty easy. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/billpstudios.blogspot.com\/2012\/06\/software-code-signing-certificates-do.html\" target=\"_blank\">Article continued here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This post is excerpted with Bill&#8217;s permission from his blog<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/certificates.jpg\" alt=\"is that software certified\" title=\"is that software certified\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-33399\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I always considered it important to have our program clearly defined as an authentic application.
