Use Certificate Rules on Windows Executables for Software Restriction Policies This security setting
determines if digital certificates are processed when a user or process attempts to run software with
an .exe file name extension. This security settings is used to enable or disable certificate rules, a type
of software restriction policies rule. With software restriction policies, you can create a certificate
rule that will allow or disallow software that is signed by Authenticode to run, based on the digital
certificate that is associated with the software. In order for certificate rules to take effect, you must
enable this security setting. When certificate rules are enabled, software restriction policies will
check a certificate revocation list (CRL) to make sure the software’s certificate and signature are
valid. This may decrease performance when start signed programs. You can disable this feature. On
Trusted Publishers Properties, clear the Publisher and Timestampcheck boxes.
