QuestionCode Signing Considerations Pin
Bram van Kampen22-Sep-11 13:39
Bram van Kampen22-Sep-11 13:39 
Hi,

I am looking into the issue of code signing. We distibute our software on CD Only. It is NOT available as Download on the Internet. Our suite is definitely not intended for distribution amongst the masses.

Currently, None of our customers' computers are connected to the Internet, and most probably will not be so for the forseeable future. The code signing issue is coming up because of the demise of windows XP. We want to avoid all those security warnings that Windows 7 shouts when the signature is absent.

Now how is a Win7 computer which is not connected to the internet going to check that the signature in the code is valid. More to the point, what is the advantage for me to registering and paying for the Code signing certificate, if the receiving computers can never walk up the chain to verify the certificate. Furthermore, what do I do to stop my customers getting those Security warning dialogs when using Windows 7.

By way of explanation, the computers our software runs on, act as Cash Registers in small businesses. Users have no physical access to the machine itself. Most of our customers have One machine only, a small minority run Peer to Peer Lan's of two three or 4 terminals. (The maximum is 16).

The Software Core has ran on Win95, Win 98, Win Millenium, and Win XP, and we have NEVER had any security issues. Our system has also always ignored the Windows Security System. Each terminal always runs in Windows Administrator Mode.

Code Signing for this suite causes hassle, and in this circumstance I cannot see any benefit. Is there a way to switch it off altogether.

In general, the machines do not run much other software. a few have MS Office installed, but that's it.

I was thinking along the lines of including a SelfSigned Cert with the CD.

How do I get such Cert installed without security screams via Win7, from my Installation Program, also on CD.


Any observations on the subject are wellcome.


Kind Regards,

Smile | :) Smile | :)
