109- Using a digital signature: Play Video

A digital signature is used to authenticate (authenticate: The process of verifying that people and products are who and what they claim to be. For example, confirming the source and integrity of a software publisher's code by verifying the digital signature used to sign the code.)

Digital information, such as documents, e-mail messages, and macros by using computer cryptography. Digital signatures help to establish the following assurances:

 

1-  When you review any signed content, you should look at the attached signature details and the certificate used to create that signature to find out whether there are any potential problems.

2-  With the document open, click the Microsoft Office Button Button image , and then click Prepare.

3-  Click View Signatures.

4-  Tip You can also click the signatures button at the bottom of your screen.

 

Signatures button

 

5-  In the Signatures pane, click the signature that you want to view, click the arrow next to the signature name, and then click Signature Details.

6-   

Signatures details

 

7-  In the Signature Details dialog box, click View.

View a digital signature in a signed e-mail message:

1-  Open the digitally signed message.

2-  Look at the Signed By status line and note the e-mail address of the person who signed the message.

 

Signed By status line

 

3-  Important It is not enough to check the e-mail address in the From line, because it is necessary to verify who actually signed the message, and not just who sent it. If the e-mail address in the From line does not match the e-mail address in the Signed By status line, the Signed by line is the one to use in identifying who actually sent the message.

 

Digital signature

 

4-  Check to see whether the signature is valid or invalid.

5-  If the button on the Signed By status line appears similar to the following Signature button Button image , the signature is valid. For more information about the status of the signature, click the button.

6-  If a red underline appears under the Signed By status line and if the button appears as an exclamation mark, the signature is invalid. For more information about the status of the signature, click the button.

 

Signed By

 

7-  To see more information about why there is a problem with the digital signature, such as the certificate being invalid, click Details.

 

Digital Signature Invalid

 

8-  In the next security dialog box that appears, click View Details to see information about the certificate used in the digital signature.

 

View a digital signature for a signed macro:

1-  When you open a document that contains a signed macro project and there is a problem with the signature, the macro is disabled by default and the Message Bar appears to notify you of a potentially unsafe macro. However, this does not occur if you are opening the document from a trusted location.

 

Message Bar

 

2-  If the macros have been signed, you can view the certificates for the files by doing the following:

How to tell if a digital signature is trustworthy:

1-  This section describes what you should look for when you evaluate the trustworthiness of a digital signature.

2-  The digital signature is OK

3-  A valid digital signature is identified by a message at the top of the Digital Signature Details dialog box, confirming that the digital signature is OK. You should also note the timestamp details under Countersignatures. The timestamp details indicate that the certificate authority — in this example, VeriSign — has verified and approved the digital signature.

 

Digital Signature Details dialog box

 

4-  The date for the time stamp — in this case, August 7, 2003 — should be within the Valid from date range in the certificate. To see the date range in the digital signature, click View Certificate.

 

Certificate dialog box

 

5-  The publisher — in this case, Microsoft Corporation — should be a trusted publisher by default on computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system. Certificates for Microsoft are located in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. If the publisher is not trusted by default, you must explicitly trust the publisher. Otherwise, the content signed by that publisher does not pass the security software checks.

6-  Checking for the red X

7-  A digital signature that presents problems shows the image with a red X.

 

Digital Signature Details dialog box

 

8-  The red X can appear for the following reasons:

9-  The digital signature is invalid for some reason. (For example, the content has been altered since it was signed.)

10-  This digital signature is expired.

11-  The certificate (certificate: A digital means of proving identity and authenticity. Certificates are issued by a certification authority, and like a driver's license, can expire or be revoked.) associated with the digital signature was not issued by a certificate authority (CA) (certificate authority (CA): A commercial organization that issues digital certificates, keeps track of who is assigned to a certificate, signs certificates to verify their validity, and tracks which certificates are revoked or expired.). For example, it might be a self-signed certificate created by using Selfcert.exe.

12-  The publisher is not trusted.

13-  What you should you do if there is a problem with a signature

14-  When there is a problem with a digital signature, then depending upon your situation, you can do any of the following:

15-  You can contact the source of the signed content, and let them know that there is a problem with the signature.

16-  Contact the IT administrator in charge of your organization's security infrastructure.

If you feel that the macro or other active content associated with the document is trustworthy, you can save the document to a trusted location (See blow, how to obtain or create a certificate for signing). Documents in trusted locations are allowed to run without being checked by the Trust Center security system. Using trusted locations is a better option than lowering your security level settings for all macros.

Obtain a digital certificate for signing

 You can obtain a digital certificate from a commercial certificate authority (CA) (certificate authority (CA): A commercial organization that issues digital certificates, keeps track of who is assigned to a certificate, signs certificates to verify their validity, and tracks which certificates are revoked or expired.) or from your internal security administrator or Information Technology (IT) professional.

 

Microsoft maintains a list of trusted third-party commercial certificate authorities to enable secure and usable e-commerce for Microsoft Windows users. These certificate authorities validate the identity and entitlement of an applicant, and as an output of this process, issue the applicant a digital certificate.

 

Digital certificates can be used to prove the identity of a remote person or resource, since not all certificate authorities follow the same operational practices. Microsoft uses an independent third-party audit (Web Trust for Certificate Authorities) along with other technical requirements to ensure our customers are have access to trustworthy CAs.

Create your own digital certificate for self-signing

Because a digital certificate that you create isn't issued by a formal certificate authority, macro projects that are signed by using such a certificate are referred to as self-signed projects. Microsoft Office trusts a self-signed certificate only on a computer that has that certificate in your Personal Certificates store.

Create a self-signing certificate
