Frequently Asked Questions about Code Signing
What are the code signing changes for 2026?
Certificates with a maximum validity period exceeding 39 months will now be reduced to 460 days from March 1, 2026. DigiCert will also stop issuing 2- or 3-year certificate plans after February 24, 2026 while Sectigo still offers multi-year plans but will need to be reissue regularly.
Is my existing certificate affected?
If your code signing cert was issued before the change (Feb 15, 2026) and is valid for longer than 459 days, it stays valid until its original expiration date. It will not be shortened, revoked, or reissued automatically. Timestamped signatures created while it’s valid will continue to verify normally.
How long are code signing certificates valid?
Code signing certificates were issued up to 39 months, or 1 to 3 years. Under the CA/Browser Forum ballot CSC-31, the period has been reduced to around 460 days (approximate 15 months) from March 1, 2026. This enhances security.
How often do I need to renew my certificate now?
After CA/B is approved the new ballot, now all public code signing certificates must be renewed approximately once each year (459-days) since the certificates have a reduced validity period. The time period depends on the certificate and the certificate authority.
What happens if I don’t renew in time?
Not renewing your certificate on time means you can no longer sign new software releases, publish updates, or pass platform security checks. Previously signed applications continued to run only if they were properly timestamped, but development and distribution will be interrupted.
How can we automate the code signing process?
You can automate code signing with the help of CI/CD pipelines, which can include code signing, using secure key management solutions such as Cloud HSMs, Azure Key Vault, Google Cloud KMS, DigiCert KeyLocker, or DigiCert Software Manager.
What happens if I don’t sign my code?
If your code isn’t signed, users may receive security warnings or even get your installation rejected by systems such as SmartScreen or Gatekeeper. Trust levels will also be negatively impacted. This can prevent your application from being approved by various stores or enterprise approval flows.
Why code signing validity change?
Certificate authorities and platform vendors have shortened code-signing certificate lifetimes from up to 3 years down to approximately 459–460 days. This change in regard to code-signing certificate lifetime reduces the risk of misuse, increases software supply-chain security, and encourages faster key rotation to ensure better security practices.
Is my existing code sign cert impacted with the new CA/B changes?
No, You can continue using your active code signing certificate till its expired. Once you reissue, HSM or token is required for the new order.
Can I use my existing token?
Yes, you can purchase a hardware token by yourself and utilize it for storing private keys and Code Signing Certificates. However, you need to ensure that the token aligns with the Sectigo’s policies and verification system.
Currently, you must prefer availing the one from the following list, as they all fulfill the CA/B and Sectigo’s requirements:
- Yubico YubiKey FIPS-compliant Hardware Token (For ECC Keys)
- Thales/SafeNet Luna and netHSM Tokens
Although, the list can get expanded with the change in policies or the introduction of new compliant devices.
