    i use a number of programs that don't have a digital signature and they work fine - i guess its all about where you get your software from - it should be from trusted sources and not randomly from the internet

    as for the digital certificates, looks like its a lucrative business for some, begging the question of its legality or real necessity:

    The great digital certificate ripoff?

    Verisign: $499.00

    Thawte: $299.00

    Comodo: $119.95

    That seems an awful lot considering that all they appear to do is check a document (e.g. a scan of your certificate of incorporation), check your whois record, multiply a couple of large prime numbers and then send you a certificate file. Much of this process is (or should be) automated. No wonder the founder of Thawte could afford to be one of the first space tourists.
