Yes, if you have timestamped the files with a RFC 3161 compliant trusted
time stamp servers. But you need a very specific Authenticode signing tool
and Windows 7 SP1+ (better Windows 8 or later) to support RFC 3161. IMO,
99% of all developers have used the "standard" Microsoft Authenticode
compatible time stamp :-) As a result, the signature becomes invalid on
January 02, 2016.

Thank you for that explaination, Friedrich.

Hi Friedrich,

This stuff confuses the hell out of me! Having a look at getting sha-2
code-signing working for a client and leaving it for the morning :-)

BUT. Out of interest and hoping for some clues, went to look at "Properties"
/ "Digital Signatures" of sb8.exe (dated 15/4/2015 - can that really be
latest, think so?) and the "Digest algorithm" is md5.

Suppose I was expecting to see sha1. There is talk of "dual signing", so
maybe I also expected a second sha2 entry in the Signature list...

But there it is: a solitary md5

So why is that???

Thanks,
Simon

Simon,

> But there it is: a solitary md5

That's the "Digest algorithm" from his prior certificate. He has a
newer one now which won't be md5!<g>

Hi Simon,

Exactly what Lee said. Our "old" code-signing certificate did not support
SHA-2. The new one does and in the upcoming SetupBuilder 10 all new files
will be dual SHA-1/SHA-2 code-signed.
