How Does Comodo Individual Code Signing Protect Your Software or Application?

Comodo Individual Code Signing certificate works similar to standard code signing certificate by allowing to embed digital signature but with your name instead of a company name on your software. And, in return, it assures users that you're an authentic software developer and your software is in its original form and not modified since it's signed.

Also, the Comodo Individual Validation Code Signing certificate uses all the latest 256-Bit encryption standards, cryptographic hashing function that matches CA/Browser Forum and Microsoft Windows that helps validate the authenticity and integrity of your software.

What is Hardware Token Device or HSM?

Hardware Token Device or HSM is a physical crypto processor in the form of a USB, that stores the private key associated with a Code Signing Certificate. It's a password-protected device, which you need to plug into the system for using an OV and EV certificate to sign an executable file.

Why Is HSM Mandate for Code Signing Certificates?

Hardware Security Module (HSM) has become mandatory for OV Code Signing Certificate (From June 1, 2023, due to New CA/B Forum regulations) to prevent private key theft and certificate misuse. It helps to comply with the best practice of storing the private key in a FIPS-140 Level 2 aligning device. And it also aids in leveraging offline status and physical locks to protect the cryptographic key from unauthorized personnel. Till now, it’s not possible to digitally sign the software without a hardware token with the Extended Validation Code Signing Certificate. But Now, All Code Signing Certificates including OV and EV will be issued with tokens only.

How to use YubiKey to Store Code Signing Certificate?

YubiKey FIPS Series is the most reliable option to securely store your private key in a Hardware Token for enhanced protection of cryptographic keys. If you already have a code signing certificate from a trusted and reputed CA, find the right way to store your code signing certificate in YubiKey. Read More

Token

Flexible Key Storage Options:

You have the flexibility to choose from three secure key storage options that seamlessly integrate into your existing workflows. These options are designed to ensure the utmost security for your private keys. Let's explore each option in detail:

Use Existing Token:

The "Use Existing Token" option allows you to select this if you already have a compatible Hardware Security Module (HSM) device. The currently supported devices for this option are Thales/Safenet Luna and netHSM devices and Yubico FIPS Yubikeys (for ECC keys only).

Token & US Shipping:

If you choose the "Token & US Shipping" option, The Certificate Authority will provide you with a new HSM device, and it will be shipped to a United States address of your choice. This ensures that you receive a brand-new HSM device directly from CA for secure key storage and cryptographic operations.

Token & International Shipping:

Similarly, if you select the "Token & International Shipping" option, Sectigo or Respected CA will ship a new HSM device to an international address of your choosing. This allows customers outside of the United States to receive a new HSM device from CA for their cryptographic needs.

Token & Expedited Shipping:

For those who require expedited shipping within the United States, the "Token & Expedited Shipping" option is available. By choosing this option, Sectigo or Respected CA will ship a new HSM device to a US address using UPS' "Next day" delivery method. This ensures that you receive your new HSM device quickly and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

What's an Individual Code Signing Certificate?

An Individual Code Signing certificate is similar to a standard code signing certificate used for signing software and applications. But the significant difference is in its vetting process. Here, in an Individual Code Signing certificate, individual software developers or freelancers are primary customers, and CAs ask them to prove their legitimacy instead of a company or an organization.

What's the Validation Process of an Individual Code Signing Certificate?

Individual Code Signing certificate offers all the benefits of a standard code signing certificate, but the vetting process is different. An applicant of an Individual Code Signing certificate is required to provide documents that prove their legitimacy and not of any company or an organization. Similarly, to know what documents are needed to complete the validation process of an Individual Code Signing certificate, click here.

How Individual Code Signing Certificate Differs From OV Code Signing Certificate?

Individual Code Signing certificate offers all the OV (Organization Validated) Code Signing certificate benefits, and the only difference is in the vetting process. For instance, an applicant needs to prove the legitimacy of a company for a regular code signing certificate. In contrast, applicants of an Individual Code Signing certificate must submit documents that prove they're genuine software developers.

How Individual Code Signing Certificate Differs From EV Code Signing Certificate?

EV (Extended Validated) Code Signing certificate instantly gets you recognition from the Microsoft SmartScreen Reputation filter. On the other hand, with an Individual Code Signing certificate, you can expect features and benefit from only regular code signing certificates, such as it removes unknown publisher warning messages.

What's the New Change in OV Code Signing?

Below are the two major changes in OV Code Signing Certificate:

  • The CA will provide an associated private key in Hardware Security Module (HSM).
  • You will need to plug the HSM into the system for using the OV Code Signing Certificate.

Why There is Price Surge in Code Signing Certificates?

With the introduction of the HSM module for Organization Validation Code Signing Certificates, the cost of issuing certificates has increased by 3-4x for the CA. To remediate the expenses and to provide seamless services, the price has increased.

Why is the Major Change in Code Signing?

Due to new to CA/B Forum standards, the most trusted CA Sectigo (Formally known as Comodo) is aligning its solutions, which has the mandate to provide a private key in HSM for OV Code Signing Certificate. And updating services according to it requires additional investment. Therefore, for impeccable business operations, certificates got a price surge.

How to Renew My Certificate?

To Renew Comodo Individual Code Signing Certificate, you need to first purchase from the CA Comodo. It'll take you through the same validation requirement process you did when buying your first Software Signing Certificate.

To avoid same validation step, just re-purchase one or two months before its expiration.
