Default How do I set up a trusted digital signature?


Frankly, I think that digital signatures from the "trusted
authorities" are a rip off. Three hundred bucks per year?!? They
should cost about a tenth of that.

If one of my commercial clients requires that code be signed, I leave
that up to him. If he thinks it is worth the $300/year, good for him.
He can sign it with a certificate in his own company's name. If I
signed a project, it wouldn't mean anything to the end users -- they
don't know who I am.

The whole thing is a rip off.

Cordially,
