Example of a "digital signature": https://imgur.com/8gvSDCm

chatgpt bc you may need it: On Windows, digital signatures for .exe files verify the file's authenticity and integrity by ensuring it originates from a trusted source and hasn't been tampered with. Developers use a code signing certificate to sign the file, embedding a cryptographic hash and certificate details. When executed, Windows checks the signature against trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs), alerting users if it's invalid or modified. Signed .exe files display the publisher's name, reassuring users and bypassing security warnings like SmartScreen. Tools like Microsoft's SignTool enable signing, and users can verify signatures via File Explorer or command-line utilities to ensure software safety.
