Hi all,

Could any Micro-ISVs (very small software vendors) reading this, take a couple of minutes to fill out my "Authenticode and the Micro-ISV" survey?
I'd be very grateful!

This is an attempt to survey Micro-ISVs regarding their attitudes towards Microsoft's Authenticode Code Signing technology, and its use when delivering software over the Internet.

The survey results will be used in a report which will be assessed as a part of an MBA-level Information Assurance class that I am currently taking. I have permission to publish the report online, and intend to publish it in May. I am hoping that the final results will be of use to many people in the Micro-ISV world.

To take the survey, please go the following page:

The survey will be available until 9th March 2006.
The survey is short with only 10 questions (plus an eleventh if you wish to be informed when the results are published).

Thank you in advance!

Thank you to Terry Jepson at WISCO Survey for help with the survey software. His WISCO Survey Power program is a very powerful survey management/analysis tool, and the above survey only represents a small fraction of its abilities.

Cool. Thanks for posting.. I have informed some other lists that I thought would be appropriate for your survey.

Thanks Eric - somehow I missed your reply.

Thanks everyone for filling the questionnaire out. The report is now online in the form of a PDF document:

If the main text appears a bit dense, this is because we were given a strict page limit. It was a good thing that this excluded pictures, charts, and appendices!

The above area of my website is a little new, so apologies if it appears a bit spartan. I intend to add further articles, as well as add some code which I wish to release into the public domain.
