<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I created an app a few years back and signed it with a 'test certificate'.<br />
These are only good for (if I remember) a year.<br />
<br />
I know the last time it expired, it was a pain to get the app working again.<br />
So, I'd like to know either <br />
A) How to remove this signature altogether and still have the app function<br />
or<br />
B) Get a 'valid' signature that would be easily renewable and good for more than a year? (presumably I'd have to go to my security guys for this, but I'd like to not sound like the idiot I am when it comes to security, when I make that request).<br />

.Net security

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
