Such instances have occurred while downloading software over the internet. We hope there was a mechanism to prompt the user before the application is downloaded.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you try to download software, a pop-up shows the application\u2019s developer and enquires whether you would wish to download the software. It is where the\u00a0<b>code signing certificate<\/b>\u00a0comes into play. In fact, a code signing certificate ensures the software\u2019s integrity, with the developer able to digitally sign the software.<\/p>\n<p>Once the developer uses a digital signature to sign the code, the software cannot be tampered with by any third party. Similarly, the developer\u2019s name is displayed. It engenders a sense of trust in the minds of the user.
