Use Publisher Certificates to Ensure You Elevate Only What You Want Elevated

  Create Rules Using Application Publisher Digital Certificates

  Digital Certificates are digital “signatures” that can’t be faked, for the ultimate software validation. Create elevation rules specific to an application vendor/publisher to ensure only trusted applications are launched and/or elevated for users.

  Digital Certificate Validation Works Even if File Names are Changed

  Using digital certificates to control which applications are elevated protects against users who rename files in the hope they can elevate a different application.

  Verify Digital Certificates First

  Privilege Authority is always on alert when an application is launched so you can be sure that the only applications you have chosen to elevate are launched. The digital certificate will be verified before the program is allowed to run.
