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.

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.
