  due to bad codes many techniques are used and one
  of the widely used is code signing.
• Code signing lets users verify the origin of the
  code, and stops malicious person from
  distributing bad code. Apart from verifying the
  identity of the publisher, code signing also
  protects the code from tampering as the digital
  signature is invalidated if the code is changed.

  protections.
• Authentication of the author, publisher or
  distributor of the code.
• Integrity of the code itself.

  technology used for securing the code or script
  of a software or any application. With the help
  of this certificate, the author of an application

  shows that the software is legit and the author
  is trustworthy.
• It protects users from downloading any
  compromised files or applications. If any file or
  application signed by a developer is modified or
  compromised after publication, a warning will be
  shown to users through popup that origin of the
  file or application cannot be verified.
