Symantec uses Intermediate CAs to enhance the security of Code Signing certificates. This ensures that the Code Signing certificate is fully trusted by all browsers and client computers which prevents errors from appearing when users install your code.
The Root certificate, in most cases, is not required for the installation with the Code Signing certificate. It is provided here for instances where the developer needs the end trust Root for client side applications and devices.
The following tables list Symantec products with links to the relevant Intermediate and Root CA certificates.
Note: Select a tab on the chart in reference to the correct Algorithm your certificate was issued with.
