Signing & Click Once


I have an office application that I would like to publish from a network
location, that gets backed up, and offer updates to users as they become
available. Apparently this is exactly what "click once" does.

Since this is a small office, I have little need for code security, and
would prefer to do without the signing/certificate/expiration hassles.

Do I need to use signing at all? Is there a way to shut it off?

Can someone offer advice, or point me to a website that might?

Thanks

I have a couple of questions around code signing with MS technology: 1. Is there a way to transfer the generated strong name signing private key directly to a smartcard (or generate it on the smart card), without the unsecure intermediate storage to the filesystem using sn -k and sn -i? 2. What is the format of the key files produced by sn -k and sn -p? 3. Is there a way to generate a PKCS#10 format certificate request from the sn -p...

<extreme frustration> I have googled and read about this, but can't seem to get a grip on it. Apparently I am being coerced into digitally signing applications. Is this true? What if I don't want to? The basic question is: If I click the "Create Test Certificate" button on the Signing tab of the properties for my application so I can publish it, what happens when I distribute the application?

Introduction: Macro Security Levels in MS Office applications are recommended to be set to High. This stops any VBA code associated with a project from running, unless it is signed (with a certificate). A trusted signature will allow the code to run normally, whereas an un-trusted one will prompt the user either to trust the issuing CA (Certificate Authority) and enable the code, or simply to disable the code. This is all very well, but...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
