A system designed to ensure the integrity and trustworthiness of software applications through digital signing and certificate management. The service helps organizations verify the origin and authenticity of software, protecting users from malicious or compromised applications. For instance, a developer might use it to digitally sign a software installer, allowing end-users to confirm that the software originated from the developer and has not been tampered with since its release.
This capability is critical for maintaining security and building trust in the digital environment. It enables businesses to comply with industry regulations and protect their brands from the risks associated with malware and unauthorized code. Historically, the need for such solutions has grown alongside the increasing sophistication of cyber threats and the expanding complexity of software supply chains. The ability to validate software provenance has become increasingly important.
