Digitally Signed Certificate

If you want to check and verify the installer (to check for tampering) please do the following:

Method 1:

To manually create the certificate just visit the link here:

Or go stright the Installer's CRT. to check and verify

Who issued the CA Is CA Vaild What CA Branch Issuer is From Main CA

What happens if I do install CA as Trusted Root?

First thing is first is security the database that hosts all of the Certificates are offline and manually generated. This ensures that if someone where to get a hold of a CA from someone else for example if spideybro2 CA Keys were to be stolen, then the issuer would be able to revoke their CA and any apps signed after the reported incident will no longer be valid.

Example CA

  • DavidCarbon C.A.
    • Soapbox Race World Installer
    • spideybro2

Head CA would now changed spideybro2 to be revoked between a time window, rendering anymore code signing no longer valid.
