I've recently paid for a code signing cert from Comodo, and I'm still stuck in the process.
In order to verify your company phone number, it has be shown in any of the links like : (www.dnb.com) or (www.hoovers.com) including local/national registration agencies and reputable third party databases.. So please update the Company name,address and Phone number in any one of the above web site.
My company is registered in Norway, and having the company's email and domain listed in the national company registry does not help. I'm currently in SE Asia, and I have to go back to to this:
[...] you can send an attestation letter signed by your attorney, Certified Public Accountant or Latin Notary (where legally recognized) verifying the telephone number. You can download sample text for the letter [...]
We need Let's Encrypt for code signing. But how can we automate identity validation? Verify the e-mail address or phone number with a national registry, where possible?
- diamondo25 8y agoI tried Comodo too, but they wanted to have a legal person to sign some document (proof of existence?). Eventually, DigiCert was pretty fast in giving out a cert. Two legal documents scanned in, a copy of a passport/id and a face to face (skype) was about enough to validate that I really exist.
- Boulth 8y agoThere is one CA (forgot the name) that provides EV certs (for websites not code signing) that looks up data in national registries, they have a lot of stuff automated so it's quick and relatively cheap. So in theory it's possible for code signing. But Let's Encrypt repeatedly refuse working on code signing certs (it's not that cheap to operate as website DV).
- SyneRyder 8y agoI switched away from Comodo because of the Dun And Bradstreet requirement, and I didn't really want to support Comodo anyway after some of the shady stuff they've done. GlobalSign were able to help me, they were a bit more expensive but vastly better support than Comodo. Super friendly phone & email support. I did need to get a Yellow Pages listing for my business for them to verify me, but Yellow Pages offer a free online listing tier in Australia. You might be able to ask for a discount if their prices are a bit too high for you & you're switching from Comodo. If you must have a Comodo cert, you could try buying through K Software (http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/ http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/). Mitchell Vincent is great to deal with, and I used his services for years. He could probably have helped me deal with Comodo verification, but I was just too exasperated by Comodo's support drones.
- xnyanta 8y agoI've tried obtaining a cert from K Software before and they have the same Dun And Bradstreet requirement which was impossible to get right so I just abandoned them.
