I would like to be able to sign future versions of the Sage for Windows installer. Not only does it just *look* more professional (users don't get a "Installing software from an unknown provider" message when they install Sage), it also protects are users from bogus or tampered with copies of the installer.
Unfortunately, certs with a trusted authority chain that can be used for code signing are not free; there is not yet any equivalent of LetsEncrypt for software binaries. So we will have to pay a certificate provider for one. Some of the cheapest I could find are Comodo certs from https://codesigncert.com/#codepricing from $75/yr (or slightly less for multi-year certs). Can one of OpenDreamKit, Cocalc, Sagemath.org, etc. put up some funding for purchasing a signing certificate for Sage? Once that's done I'll need a copy of the cert and private key so that I can start signing releases of Sage for Windows. Thanks!
