Code sigining for Windows #1

Open iwate opened 4 years ago

iwate commented 4 years ago

Currently, Windows SmartScreen block POSH App installer. In order to avoid SmartScreen, we need to do Code Sigining.

Microsoft Authenticode certificate is need for code sigining. However, it is difficult to get personal developer in japan and it is expensive.

ex. digicert $474/year https://www.digicert.com/code-signing/microsoft-authenticode.htm

The profit we get from the POSHApp Pro Plan is about $1 per license per month.

By simple math, we need to sell 40 licenses to buy a certificate.

Therefore, we will not consider it at this time.😥

Note Ascertia Root Certificate Authority is not embedded within Windows or the common browsers but can be downloaded from here and easily added.
