Self-managed infrastructureSSL.com must attest your key to your chosen provider before issuing the certificate. This fee is a one-time charge per order.
What is attestation? Before issuing your certificate, SSL.com verifies that your private key was generated and is stored inside your cloud HSM — not exportable to software. This one-time attestation fee covers the verification process with your chosen provider.
Looking for a simpler option? SSL.com eSigner for Code provides cloud-based signing with no HSM to provision, no attestation fee, and a lower total cost for most teams.
