Digital signature is used by Arkance Systems Benelux to digitally sign the installer and certify that it has not been altered or compromised by a third party. While software purchased from a retail store is typically considered to be relatively safe, programs downloaded from the Internet are often treated with suspicion because of the widespread proliferation of viruses and malware. Users are already wary of applications that they download and install; and unsigned code presents frightening warning messages in an attempt to limit the chance of malicious code harming a user's PC, device, or network. However, Holixa Infra Suite installer is fully digitally signed by the digital certificate issued by GlobalSign certification authority - indicating that the installer and it's binaries belong to the publisher, and has not been corrupted with malware.

A public key certificate, usually just called a certificate, is a digitally signed statement that binds the value of a public key to the identity of the Arkance Systems Benelux that holds the corresponding private key. One of the main benefits of certificates is that hosts (you) no longer have to maintain a set of passwords for individual subjects who need to be authenticated as a prerequisite to access. Instead, the host merely establishes trust in a certificate issuer. Supplied digital certificate is based on the X.509 v3 certificate standard, and contains following information:

• Arkance Systems Benelux public key value.
• Arkance Systems Benelux identifier information, such as the name and e-mail address.
• The validity period (the length of time that the certificate is considered valid).
• Issuer (certification authority, or CA) identifier information.
• The digital signature of the issuer, which attests to the validity of the binding between the Arkance Systems Benelux public key and the Arkance Systems Benelux identifier information.
