Submit desktop app to Windows 8 store with code singing

I know this needs Code Signing Certificate. Just wonder if it must be the Code Signing Certificate from VeriSign?

Solution

  • Certification requirements for the Windows Store (Desktop Apps) mandates that files are signed with an Authenticode certificate, but doesn't specify which CA. Based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj256845.aspx I would say that as long as its a reputable code-signing certificate (not self-signed, or a private CA) then it would pass certification.
