Adobe AIR, Adobe's platform for building desktop applications from web technologies, requires that all AIR-based applications be signed to secure delivery. By signing an application, the application's publisher securely associates their identity with the application. For example, eBay signs its AIR-based eBay Desktop application before making it available for download. When users install the application, AIR uses the signature to confirm eBay's identity as the publisher and to confirm that the application has not been tampered with in transit. This confirmed identity is displayed to the user as part of the installation process.
