It almost doesn’t matter. Ignition doesn’t look at it or care, only your customers will maybe see that your module is signed by a real code signing certificate or not.

I just switched from DigiCert to [SSL.com](http://SSL.com) because DigiCert tripled their prices. FWIW.

You can do code signing with a self-signed certificate. You have to provide your customers with some way to verify its fingerprint.
