Industry standards set by the CA/B Forum now require that all code signing certificate keys be stored on a FIPS-compliant hardware security module (HSM) or hardware token. This is an industry-wide countermeasure against the rise in breaches associated with stolen signing keys. Only certificates that follow these requirements will be trusted by Microsoft Windows and other platforms.
We offer several options to deliver your code signing certificate in compliance with these new requirements:
This is the simplest option and what we recommend for most customers. DigiCert will ship a USB eToken to you, then you’ll use DigiCert’s provided software to download and install the certificate onto your USB Token.
You’ll be able to plug the USB token into your computer or server then sign files using your preferred tool (eg. SignTool.exe, JarSigner, etc.)
If you already own a compatible USB eToken (SafeNet 5110 CC, SafeNet 5110 FIPS, or SafeNet 5110+ FIPS), you can use DigiCert’s provided software to download and install the certificate onto your USB token.
If you use a cloud or on-prem hardware security module (HSM), you can choose this option to download and install your certificate onto your HSM. DigiCert will send you an email asking you to confirm that your HSM meets the security standards, then they’ll deliver the certificate to you digitally for installation.
Any FIPS 140 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+, or equivalent HSM is compatible for this option. You can use an HSM you manage directly or you may use a key storage/vault solution that uses a compliant HSM (for example, Azure Key Vault or AWS KMS).
