| Digital Code Signing Certificate |
|
LandlordMax now has a Digital Code Signing Certificate to authenticate and guarantee that the code is from LandlordMax and hasn't
been altered.
Code signing lets you know the origin of the code, and prevents a hacker from distributing software in someone else’s name (for example,
putting a malicious program on a Web site for download and claiming that from Microsoft). In addition to verifying the identity of the publisher,
code signing can protect the code from tampering (if the code is changed, the digital signature is invalidated). Thus, code signing
provides two security protections: authentication of the author of the code and integrity of the code itself.
More information on Code signing can be found at Microsoft
and Wikipedia.
