Features & Benefits
Secure, browser-based signing service: Using your ACS Publisher
ID, access the secure, Web-based ACS Portal. Upload your applications
for re-signing in real time, track your signing events, purchase additional
signing events, and perform other account management functions. It's
fully automated, secure, real-time, and available 24x7.
Cost-effective and convenient pricing: VeriSign ACS Portal
offers a convenient starter pack (with included free signing events)
and a wide choice of signing event bundles so you don't have to invest
more than you need based on your particular application development
environment.
Support for Privileged Signing Services: VeriSign ACS
Portal offers application developers, wireless carriers and platform
vendors alike a unique access control feature that allows only pre-approved
developers to access “privileged root” signing services. This
allows greater control to carriers and platform partners to control
which ISVs can access privileged root signing services based on additional
requirements or other criteria. VeriSign ACS Portal offers the
flexibility and cost effectiveness of using the same ACS Publisher IDs
to access privileged signing services also. Get authenticated
by VeriSign once and you can access multiple signing services!
Robust and time-tested authentication and verification process:
VeriSign takes the business of authenticating and verifying content
developers very seriously because you, as well as your customers, depend
on our ability to ensure authenticity. Every certificate is issued only
after VeriSign authenticates each customer business to verify its identity,
including making contact with the corporate contact listed in the software
publisher's application for an ACS Publisher ID.
Tamper-proof, secure delivery of your ACS Publisher ID: On
approval of your ACS Publisher ID application, we send you (the Technical
Contact listed on the enrolment) an email to enable you to pick up your
certificate. In addition, we will send you a blank USB token as soon
as your Publisher ID is approved. You install the token and generate
the ACS Publisher ID directly onto the token. There is no chance of
human error, potential mishandling, or malicious use of your Publisher
ID certificate. VeriSign ACS Portal offers peace of mind through a secure
order fulfillment process.
Publisher ID on USB token: With VeriSign ACS Portal, you generate
your Publisher ID directly onto a USB token that is included in your
starter pack. Storing your Publisher ID private key on this USB token
allows you to keep it with you and ensures that it can never be copied
or transferred to a computer or other storage device. Additionally,
you can use any USB-enabled computer to sign your code.
Full featured lifecycle management for ACS Publisher IDs: You
also get full-featured lifecycle management features to manage your
Publisher ID, including Revoke, Renew, Status, and Search. You can also
purchase more Publisher IDs and USB tokens and provide them to other
developers at your company so they can share your signing account. A
continually updated audit trail is also at your disposal.
Control and security of Root CA: VeriSign's public roots as
well as the private roots are maintained in a high security, VeriSign-hardened,
Tier 4, military-grade data center ensuring complete security and VeriSign
control of the root certificate access.
API for signing applications: A SOAP-based API is available
in addition to the browser-based user interface for signing your applications.
You can use the API to script your signing activities, and integrate
your signing activities with your application build process.
