An organization needs to ensure the integrity and authenticity of its software by proving the software has not been tampered with after release. Which type of certificate should be used to sign the software digitally before distribution?
Email certificate
Root certificate
Code Signing certificate
Self-Signed certificate
A Code Signing certificate allows developers to sign software digitally, which verifies the integrity of the software and ensures that it has not been tampered with since being signed. Self-Signed certificates could be used but aren't typically trusted by users' operating systems or browsers by default, thereby potentially raising security warnings. An Email certificate is used for securing email communication and ensuring the authenticity of the sender, not for software integrity. A Root certificate is at the top of a certificate chain and signs other certificates rather than being directly used to sign software.
