Digital Shrink Wrap to Protect Your Brand
VeriSign® Code Signing Certificates provide a virtual "shrink wrap" for secure delivery of content over the Internet. When customers encounter add-ins, templates or other VBA macros digitally signed and verified by VeriSign, they can be assured of the content source and the content integrity. Code Signing adds a level of trust to your applications and makes them harder to falsify or damage, protecting your brand and your intellectual property. Learn more: 5 Reasons for Code Signing.
Increase Customer Confidence with Fewer Security Warnings
When Microsoft Office and other programs encounter VBA macros, the programs look for a digital signature from a trusted source. Depending on the software version and individual security settings, the program may interrupt the user with a security warning or simply fail to load the macro. To prevent disruption, publishers who use add-ins, macros, and other executables should sign their code using a VeriSign Code Signing Certificate for Microsoft VBA and Office.

Make the Most of Your Code Signing Investment
With VeriSign Code Signing Certificates, developers select a platform, a validity period and install the certificate on their desktop or a portable device such as a USB drive. A timestamp option shows when code was signed, allowing customers to verify that the code signing certificate was valid at the time of the digital signature. VeriSign is a trusted provider of digital certificates for Microsoft Windows® Logo programs. Learn more about Code Signing for Microsoft Developers.
