  1. POSign application with a certificate in ClickOnce deployment
    text
    copied!<p>For my Windows-based application, I would like to use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClickOnce" rel="nofollow">ClickOnce</a> as the deployment technology. My application will be distributed via the Internet.</p> <p>In the article <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/it-it/library/ms172240.aspx" rel="nofollow">ClickOnce and Authenticode</a>, I read that:</p> <blockquote> <p>For ClickOnce applications, you must have an Authenticode certificate that is valid for code signing. You can obtain a certificate for code signing in one of three ways:</p> <ol> <li><p>Purchase one from a certificate vendor.</p></li> <li><p>Receive one from a group in your organization responsible for creating digital certificates.</p></li> <li><p>Generate your own certificate with MakeCert.exe, which is included with the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK).</p></li> </ol> </blockquote> <p>In my case, number 2 is not applicable.</p> <p>As I read a few rows later:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>By default,</em> ClickOnce applications <em>signed with self-certs and deployed over the Internet</em> cannot utilize Trusted Application Deployment.</p> </blockquote> <p>(Emphasis mine.)</p> <p>I cannot understand the meaning of this <em>by default</em>. Is the option #3 possible or not in my case?</p> <p>And then, to understand all the possibilities, what does the #1 imply ? ("Purchase one from a certificate vendor") What kind of certificate should I buy? Which <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority" rel="nofollow">certificate authority</a> can be recommended? Depending on what I should choose? How much does a certificate cost?</p>
