eWeek | at | by Mike
VeriSign on Tuesday announced a new partnership with Microsoft under which the registrar and security company will provide security services for Microsoft's Windows Powered Smartphone software. The centerpiece of the agreement is a code-signing service that will be available to any developer who writes code for the Smartphone platform. Using the VeriSign service, developers will be able to digitally sign their applications, which should help prevent malicious or unauthorized code from running on devices using the Smartphone software.
