What is the difference between Java certificate and VBA certificate?
I already have VeriSign's certificate to sign java code To support Java applications, I wrote an outlook macro and wanted to sign it This does not apply to using java certificates Anyone can tell me:
a) There is a way to sign VBA code with a valid VeriSign Java certificate and b) if not, what is the technical difference in materializing the certificate language
I just want to pay the same amount for another VeriSign certificate again, which is a bit annoying for a few lines of VBA code
Solution
Certificates can have various extensions The most common code signature is very general However, it seems that some platforms need specific extensions
Some certificate providers prefer to purchase one certificate for each platform I guess they especially don't include some necessary extensions Others seem to need only one certificate to sign multiple platforms: https://secure.ksoftware.net/code_signing.html
