I am creating ova file using VMware OVF tool .

And I want to use public Code Signing Certificate like published by Globalsign or Verisign.

But current OVF tool doucment is not introduce how to sign with timestamp.

So, when public cert is expired, just ova file is also expired.

This is problem.

Ex: Using vsphere client call deploying OVF Template, then display signing is expired.

Will signed code still be valid after the Code Signing Certificate expires?

 

The digital signature on code will not expire, when a timestamping service is used. A time stamp shows the validity of the certificate at the time the code was signed. Unless you’re adding additional code to your application, a new signature will not need to be applied even if the certificate used to initially sign the code expires. GlobalSign Code Signing Certificates include a time stamp feature.
