Not all Code Signing certificates are Extended Validation. Non-EV Code Signing certificates bypass that warning (Authenticode). So it has no impact.
Code Signing will still be $175 too expensive and still work just as they have.
- donmcronald 7y agoNon-EV requires SmartScreen trust building though, right? Register a company, buy an EV cert, sign your malware. The only barrier is $ because there’s no limit on creating cheap companies. The whole “trust” industry is ripe for disruption if someone can get Microsoft on board.
- zanderz 7y agoMS still requires that drivers be signed with an EV cert https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/dashboard/get-a-code-signing-certificate https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/da... And it supposedly does help add some SmartScreen reputation, but that system is totally opaque and there is no way to quantify just what the EV cert adds.
