Signing Code with Microsoft Authenticode Technology
This document explains how to digitally sign files with Microsoft(r) Authenticode(tm) technology included in the Microsoft Internet Client SDK. These digital signatures associate a software vendor's name and unique public key with a file, thus assuring some level of accountability.
Currently, Authenticode allows software vendors to sign:
- .exe files
- .cab files
- .ocx and .dll files
- .ctl files
