Executable signature on notepad++
-
Hello everyone
I noticed the exe file of notepad++ is signed in order to be compliant to windows system so i dont have any alert when I try to install it.
I would like to know if the certificate used to sign has been bought or freely provided by some company. I have a free desktop software which I would like to sign but they are very expensive.thanks for any help

I found this comment from Don which indicates that DigiCert donated a certificate in 2022. (And previously in v7.7 release notes in 2019.)
So yes, it’s a free certificate donated by the certificate authority. I don’t know of any cheap sources for mere mortals
Update: a quick web search found this reddit discussion which had discussions about a few options – it started 3 years ago, but there have been a few more-recent comments, and it at least gives a starting point for future research.
