VeriSign Code Signing Digital IDs enable software developers to add a digital signature to software and macros including Microsoft Authenticode,
Microsoft Office and VBA Signing, Sun Java Signing, Netscape Object Signing, Macromedia Shockwave, and Marimba Castanet Channel Digital IDs
for secure delivery over the Internet. Digital IDs are virtual "shrinkwrap" for your software; if your code is tampered with in any way after it is signed, the
digital signature will break and alert customers that the code is not trustworthy.
VeriSign® Code Signing creates a digital "shrink-wrap" for code and content to protect software publishers and users when they
download code and content over the Internet and mobile networks. Digital signatures authenticate the source and verify the integrity of content.
