Cert2SPC

The Cert2SPC utility creates a test software publisher certificate (SPC) using existing X.509 certificates. Cert2SPC can wrap multiple X.509 certificates into a PKCS #7 signed-data object. For the latest documentation on Cert2spc, see the CryptoAPI Tools This link takes you to a site on microsoft.com section of the MSDN™ Library.

Using Cert2SPC

The following command wraps an X.509 certificate, MyCert.cer, into a test PKCS #7 software publisher's certificate (SPC), called MyCert.spc. The SPC created is to be used for test purposes only. An SPC to be used to sign code to be distributed to the public must be obtained from GTE, VeriSign, Inc., or another trusted CA.
