What Is an EV Code Signing Certificate?

An EV (Extended Validation) code signing certificate is a digital certificate designed to provide the highest level of trust and security for software publishers. Issued only after a rigorous validation process, it verifies the identity of the software developer or organization, ensuring that the code originates from a legitimate source.

When software is signed with an EV code signing certificate, users see your verified company name in security warnings and trust prompts, providing assurance that the application is safe to install. These certificates also include robust security features like a mandatory hardware token for private key storage, adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized use.

Ideal for developers and organizations distributing software over the internet, EV code signing certificates not only protect your code from tampering and malware but also help prevent unnecessary warning messages, ensuring a seamless experience for end-users.


Benefits of EV Code Signing Certificates

By verifying publisher identity, EV code signing ensures high-end security and credibility. They help developers establish trust with users and distribute software confidently across popular platforms.

One of the most reliable SSL brands. If you need to secure subdomains and can afford it, don’t think twice. Get it.

The price seems fair for an EV certificate, especially the two-year deal. Unlike my previous provider, which I won’t advertise here, at SSL Dragon, the buying steps are easier and better explained.

Always a pleasure doing business with SSL Dragon. Thawte certificates consistently deliver the highest encryption and customer trust.

Was assigned to secure several NGO sites. Picked this certificate because of a higher warranty and reasonable price. It’s always a pleasure to work with SSL Dragon.

This is the third SSL Certificate I buy from SSL Dragon, and the first one from GeoTrust. All I can say is the certs work as described in the specs, and the support is very friendly.

The SSL wizard recommended this certificate for our e-stores. We’re already on the third renewal, and during all these years, didn’t have a single issue with it.
