digital signature

[ray well]

hi,

when my client tested an app i'm developing for him he got a security
warning msg that the publisher could not be verified, etc.

i never had this happen, what is a valid digital signature, and how do i get
one and do u have to pay for it, and if so how much is it, and who makes it;
or is this something i can produce on my own and how would i do it. also how
come it doesn't show up on other apps that i developed previously for the
same client even if they are run now?

thanks for any help

Hi,

You can sign an assembly with a strong name using sn.exe.

You would be better off with an digital signature for signing
the assembly.

Re: digital signature

Hi ray,

The other user is correct that you can use that for development purposes,
but you will need to go to Verisign & pay $400 a year for a trusted code
signing certificate if you plan to release your software officially.
