Sure, there's nothing stopping you from putting your standard code signing certificate onto a USB for added protection, but how likely are you to actually do that? And would you go the extra step to password protect it? EV Code Signing takes the responsibility off the users' shoulders and builds it into the process from the get go. This is where the two-factor authentication comes in - you need both the token (something you have) and the password (something you know) before you can apply the signature, making it much more difficult for malicious parties to steal signing credentials from legitimate developers and use them to distribute malware. As dictated by the CA/Browser Forum, EV Code Signing certificates have to be stored on a password-protected USB token. With standard code signing certificates, the private key is usually stored locally in your system's certificate store. EV Code Signing - Two-factor authentication by default Note: If you're wondering about two-factor options for digitally signing documents, Adobe CDS-compliant certificates are always stored on a password-protected USB token. Two-factor authentication has become increasingly popular for user authentication, and many companies are starting to build it directly into their applications and programs to encourage adoption (e.g., Microsoft, Twitter, Google), but we're excited to announce the best practice has finally made it to the developer community in the form of EV Code Signing certificates. Adding a second factor can significantly decrease the risk of breach (in the case of user authentication) or fraudulent use (in the case of digital signatures for documents and code). Single factors of authentication (e.g., username/passwords) have proven time and time again to be unreliable.
