ActivIdentity - 0% Detection Rate *

Did you just download a file that has been digitally signed by ActivIdentity and wonder if the file is safe? If so, please read on.

You will typically notice ActivIdentity when running the file. The publisher name shows up as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screencap shows:

As you can see in the screenshot above, the Windows OS reports that "This digital signature is OK". This means that the file has been published by ActivIdentity and that no one has tampered with the file.

If you click the View Certificate button shown in the screengrab above, you can examine all the details of the certificate, such as when it was issued, who issued the certificate, how long it is valid, etc. You can also view the address for ActivIdentity, such as the street name, city and country.

VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2004 CA has issued the ActivIdentity certificates. You can also view the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screencap above.
