Certum's cloud solution uses the SimplySign platform, which replaces physical cryptographic cards with a virtual one in the cloud. You can use it from anywhere and at any time. Private keys are stored in Certum's HSM (Hardware Security Modile)-protected cloud (a tamper-resistant device meeting FIPS 140-2 standards), reducing the risk of key theft from local devices.

SetupBuilder 2025 fully supports (Certum) Cloud Code Signing.

Start the SetupBuilder 2025 Integrated Development Environment (IDE). If you have not configured code-signing yet, select "Help" > "Get SignInstall for SetupBuilder". This will automatically download and install the required service files.

1. Locate the Certificate Thumbprint

Open certmgr.msc (Certificate Manager) and navigate to Personal > Certificates. Look for your Certum Code Signing certificate (e.g., issued to your company name). Double-click the certificate, go to the Details tab, and scroll to the Thumbprint field. It's a 40-character hexadecimal string. Copy this value.
