Email in Digital Signature

Question

How do you add an email to your digital signature details?

Digital signature details are found when a file is signed for instance by VeriSign. You then right-click on the file and choose "Digital Signatures" from the tab. You can then select the Name of the signer and select the "Details" button.

I can't find this anywhere. Even Microsoft has left this field blank, but I need to know where to add it in. Anyone? Thanks! -jp

Answer 1

This is the official VeriSign answer:

Its normal for email address not to appear in the email address filed, the certificate does not validate the organization's email address. The e-mail address always appears as "not available" when viewing properties of signed code. This is because the certificate validates the organization but requires no information about the e-mail address of the organization. Thus, we have validated the organization, but have not validated the e-mail. This in no way lessens the value or usefulness of your ID.

So there you have it...
