Description
This document outlines the features of Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) within Windows Server® 2012. AD CS serves as the server role designed to establish a public key infrastructure (PKI), enabling your organization to utilize public key cryptography, digital certificates, and digital signatures. The services offered by AD CS can be tailored for issuing and managing digital certificates, which are essential for software security systems leveraging public key technologies. These digital certificates facilitate the encryption and digital signing of electronic documents and messages, ensuring secure communication. Additionally, they play a crucial role in authenticating computer, user, or device accounts across the network. By employing AD CS, you can significantly boost security measures by linking the identity of individuals, devices, or services to their corresponding private keys. Furthermore, AD CS provides a reliable, cost-effective, and efficient mechanism for overseeing the distribution and utilization of certificates, thereby enhancing overall security within your organization’s infrastructure. Ultimately, implementing AD CS can lead to improved trust and integrity in digital communications.
Description
Klarseal serves as a code-signing certificate provider for developers and companies that are distributing Windows applications, drivers, or installers. It features both Standard (OV) and Extended Validation (EV) certificates that are issued by Certum, along with services for managing orders, invoices, application assessments, and status notifications. Utilizing cloud signing, both certificate types ensure that the private key is generated and securely stored within the certificate authority’s hardware security module, instead of being placed on a USB token. The Extended Validation option comprises additional identity verification processes and is a prerequisite for opening a Windows Hardware Developer Program account necessary for submitting kernel drivers. Additionally, Klarseal offers complimentary tools, including Sign my app, an MIT-licensed plugin that allows compatible AI coding agents to prepare Windows-file signing for user authorization, and Sign my app for Windows, a utility designed to check and digitally sign .exe, .dll, and .msi files, enhancing the overall workflow for developers. This comprehensive suite of tools not only simplifies the signing process but also enhances security and compliance for software distribution.
