I'm looking into getting starting with the Ignition SDK modules which requires a Code Signing Certificate in order to use the module in a production environment.

The Module will be for internal use only at this moment.

[Buy Code Signing Certificates - SSL.com](https://www.ssl.com/certificates/code-signing/buy/) Is this the right option withouth the "eSigner Tier" and " Yubikey" and can i actually retrieve the private key?

In order to purchase any Certificate within the company i need confirmation that it will work.

Module signing is pretty meaningless, there is no real advantage to using a publicly trusted certificate for signing Ignition modules.

Just have your company generate a certificate from their CA or use a self-signed certificate.

That's indeed correct, Thanks.
