Certum Cloud EV CODE Signing certificate
The Certum Extended Validation Cloud CODE certificate offers the most trusted code signing solution for the Windows operating system. Signed programs using EV CODE "skip" the SmarScreen filter and users are immediately shown a dialogue for installing the program.
Windows SmartScreen Reputation is a Microsoft tool that protects users from unknown programs. Based on the collected anonymous data from the community, it assigns a trustworthiness to the programs, which decides whether the SmartScreen is displayed when the program is installed. The EV certificate will solve this problem both for start-up applications and for more well-known applications with a lower level of reputation. More about Windows SmartScreen.
CERTUM EV CODE certificate placed in a secure cloud, great price!
Certum EV CODE Sign
The Certum Cloud EV CODE Signing certificate is a universal CODE certificate that enables code signing at the station using the Simply Sign application. With the keys securely stored in the cloud, there is no need to have a physical token or smart card with the keys on your computer. It thus offers comfortable signing from anywhere with internet access.
File signing takes place when the SimplySign Desktop program is installed on the station (PC, Mac), which emulates the connection between a physical crypto card and a card reader with a certificate located in the cloud. Using the SimplySign mobile application, a 6-digit token is generated, which makes the certificate available for signing for about 2 hours. You can then sign unlimited files on the station, for example using the Microsoft SignTool application as you are used to. After expiration, it is necessary to enter a new token from the mobile phone (functionally, it is similar to the Google Authenticator application, for example). The SimplySign app and the SimplySign Desktop are available for free.

Features and Benefits of Certum Cloud EV CODE Signing certificates
Application security
Code Signing Certificate maintains code integrity and prevents the misuse of the SW company name to distribute counterfeit software or modify code.
Distribution support
Signed applications help increase download numbers and sales revenue. Increased trust helps expand distribution channels for your software.
Customer confidence
Signed software protects customers from malware and other malicious threats. A digital signature protects and reassures customers that the integrity of the code they have downloaded is ensured and that the program is intact, not damaged, or altered in any way. Increased trust promotes better user perception of the application.
Authenticity
Once downloaded, the user is sure that the code obtained actually comes from you as the publisher, which ensures the company's reputation. Code Signing Certificates allow customers to identify the author of a digitally signed code, making sure the program is from the company that is expected.
Seamless integration
The offered Code Signing certificates can be used for Windows, MacOS and iOS operating systems without any problems. All certification authorities work with companies such as Microsoft or Apple and follow their recommendations and policies for issuing certificates according to the CA/Browser Forum.

Extended Validated CODE certificate
EV Code Signing entails extensive vetting of the applicant
The Code EV certificate is intended for corporate customers only and is issued after thorough validation of the applicant. The certification authority verifies the existence of the company and the address, most often in the company register. If the company is less than 3 years old, it may request additional documents. It also requires verification of the person of the certificate applicant, who is validated by the authority by phone. At the same time, the existence of the company's telephone number is verified from a publicly accessible database. After verification of all the information, the certification authority performs validation by phone. First the administrative contact and finally the company contact. If everything is in order, the certificate is subsequently issued.
More information on CODE certificate verification is available at support.certum.eu: Code Signing - required documents.
Contact validation takes place using Automatic identity verification .
How long it takes to get the Certum Cloud EV CODE Signing certificate
The Certificate Authority must validate the operational and physical identity
Confirmation of the website's identity is carried out according to the rigorous CAB Forum guidelines and involves a strict vetting process by a public Certificate Authority.
If the certification authority has sufficient documentationand and all telephone verifications are done, it takes 3 to 10+ days to issue the certificate.
Renewing your certificate
You need to renew Certum Cloud EV CODE Signing certificate before it expires
We recommend to start renewing an expiring SSL certificate approx. 30 days before it expires. Renewing a CODE certificate is practically like applying for a new one and is therefore no faster. If you need to continue signing on an expiring certificate, definitely don't leave renewal to the last minute.
You can renew your Certum Cloud EV CODE Signing certificate with us without any problem even if you originally ordered it from another supplier. We always have better prices than the certification authority!
Microsoft SmartScreen
The security guard in the Windows ecosystem
In the spring, Microsoft announced that starting in August 2024, EV CODE certificates will be evaluated the same way as standard CODE certificates. This means that EV CODE certificates will no longer automatically "bypass" the SmartScreen filter but will need to build reputation. In the future, EV Code Signing certificates will remain the most trusted available certificates, but they will no longer immediately remove SmartScreen warnings.
Note: We currently have no information on whether this change has been implemented or postponed. We recommend purchasing a 1-year or 2-year EV CODE certificate to avoid early renewal validation.
