Prove your software is genuine — before it runs on anyone’s machine
Every piece of software you ship carries your name. SSL's code signing certificates and cloud signing service let you cryptographically sign executables, drivers, scripts, and firmware — so users, platforms, and operating systems can verify that your software is authentic and hasn't been tampered with since you signed it.
Unsigned or improperly signed code is one of the leading software supply chain attack vectors
Software supply chain attacks — from SolarWinds to XZ Utils — show that the integrity of code between the developer and the end user is not guaranteed without cryptographic signing. Operating systems, platforms, and security tools increasingly require signed binaries. Regulators and compliance frameworks (SLSA, SSDF, SOC 2) are mandating software integrity controls.
SSL’s Software Integrity products address two distinct needs:
- Code Signing Certificates — validated certificates that cryptographically bind your identity to the code you sign, at three validation levels (IV, OV, EV)
- eSigner for Code — a cloud-based signing service that eliminates the hardware token requirement for EV code signing, enabling seamless CI/CD pipeline integration
Two ways to sign and protect your software
Code Signing Certificates
Sign your code with a validated identity. IV for individuals, OV for organizations, EV for maximum trust and instant SmartScreen.
eSigner for Code — Cloud Signing
Sign from the cloud. No hardware token required. Integrates with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and more.
