Code Signing Certificates are digital certificates issued by Certificate Authorities (CA) like Comodo, GlobalSign, Thawte, etc. for securing software code with encryption method. They use cryptographic hashes to digitally sign applications and executables to validate the authenticity of the code and confirm that the same has not been tampered or altered post signature. These certificates are obviously a favorite amongst operating systems like Android and Apple. Android has a strong team of app developers, who also ensure app security, but there are still chances of negligence prevalent amongst them.”]
