What is the difference between the code signing certificate and the SSL certificate, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain in detail for you, people with this need can come to learn, I hope you can get something.

SSL certificate

SSL certificate complies with SSL protocol and is issued by CA, a trusted digital certificate authority, after authentication. It has server authentication and data transmission encryption functions.

Code signing certificate

Code signature certificate provides an ideal solution for software developers, which enables software developers to digitally sign their software code.

To implement code signing, you must first obtain a digital certificate before you can use these features. And the code signing certificate is different for different platforms, so it is best for users to consult the issuing authority of the formal code signing certificate in advance so that they can provide different code signing certificate products and application solutions for code signing applications on different platforms.

There are all kinds of hackers on the network, as well as some spies and virus software, so some users simply do not dare to download software code on the Internet. in view of this situation, it is necessary to sign the code on their own software. prevent hackers and some spies from stealing their own software.

The purpose of two kinds of certificates

The basis of the code signing certificate is the PKl security system. The code signing certificate consists of the private key of the signing certificate and the certificate of the public key. The public key to be used for the code signature is used for the verification of the signature, the certificate and the identification of the owner.

The code signature is a digital certificate applied by the publisher from the ca institution. The code developed by the publisher can be released with the help of the code signature tool, md5 or sha, the algorithm generates the code hash value, and then uses the private key of the code signature certificate to sign the hash value, thus producing a software package containing signature, and the publisher can use the software package of the signing certificate.

The SSL certificate establishes a SSL secure channel between the client browser and the Web server. The security protocol is mainly used to provide authentication for users and servers, encrypt and hide the transmitted data, and ensure that the data will not be changed during transmission, that is, the integrity of the data, which has become a global standard in this field.

Benefits of SL certificates

SSL certificates will bring unprecedented security encryption and faster access experience

1 to prevent the hijacking of people in the middle

2 Https encryption makes the website more secure

(3) ensure the security of users' private information.

4 help users identify phishing sites

5 http will be marked "unsafe"

6 improve search ranking

7 enhance the image and credibility of the company

Benefits of code signing certificates

The main results are as follows: 1 through the verification of code signature, the trust of users can be improved, thus the download rate, adoption rate and distribution rate of the software can be improved.

2 code signing certificate can also reduce error messages and security warnings in programs and content, and improve the user's experience.

(3) prevent users from downloading code programs and contents containing malicious files and improve the security of the software. Establish the trust relationship of the brand.

4 Code signing certificates can eliminate unknown publishers that pop up in Internet Explorer and Windows systems.
