VeriSign Code Signing Digital IDs enable software developers to add a digital signature to software and macros for secure delivery over the Internet. Digital IDs are virtual "shrinkwrap" for your software; if your code is tampered with in any way after it is signed, the digital signature will break and alert customers that the code is not trustworthy.
