digital security certification

[Guest]

Where can I get a digital security certificate created for my company in
Australia?

You can look at verisign.com
But think twice if you really need it. I found it useless. You can create
your own with almost same result...

....using SelfCert.exe

It'll be in your Office folder. For example, on mine it's in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11

Thanks Alex - According to the documentation a self certificate will not
prevent those annoying messages popping up when the product is distributed to
the client, as the default security status is "medium" when the product is
packaged, and there seems no way of changing that except by issuing a proper
certificate. Is that right? Regards - Jenny

This is true. However, a commercial certificate doesn't prevent it either,
until and unless the user elects to trust the certificate. The message the
user sees when they first open a file signed with a commercial certificate
is almost exactly the same as the message that they see when the file is not
signed at all. Not very good value for money, in my opinion.

Thanks Brendan - I'll probably leave it as is then - ie - unsigned. Thanks
again - Jenny
