TCS also provide Code Signing Certificates which protects software from unauthorized download as well as to provide authenticity about its source and content. The type of protection is required because there are many viruses and other mal programs distributed across the net, which makes the users reluctant to download objects from the net unless they are confident about the source.
Hence it is becoming increasingly important to protect software objects using TCS-CA's Code Signing Certificates. Copious software objects are distributed across internet such as Active-X controls, Java applets, dynamic link libraries, .cab files, .jar files, etc. to facilitate various applications. These objects are downloaded from the net and installed onto client browsers/applications to enable them in performing various operations. A Code Signing Certificate using key associated with TCS-CA's Code Signing Certificate guarantees the following to the users:
It reassures users that the software object comes really from the publisher who has signed it. It also provides the desired level of comfort to users to download the trusted software object.
It assures users that the software object has not been changed/replaced or corrupted. This removes the worry about viruses and malicious code and provides the desired level of comfort for users to install and run the software objects.
The TCS-CA do not provide any refund of the fees paid for the Digital Signature Certificates or any of the services provided by the TCS-CA.

Upon a refusal to issue a Certificate, the TCS-CA shall refund to any Certificate applicant any paid Certificate enrolment fee, unless the Certificate applicant submitted fraudulent or falsified information to the Registration Authority or Certifying Authority. In such a case the fee shall not be refunded.
