To perform code signing, both private key and software publishing credential information must be supplied. This must occur each time a package is signed. However, the certificate store serves as a central repository for this information, allowing you to associate the same credentials and key with multiple packages. This simplification is particularly useful when isolating applications, as typically the code signing information will be identical for all shared assemblies. Ultimately, the certificate store removes the burden of managing private key and software publishing credential information.

You can create a certificate file from the constituent PVK and SPC files and import it into the certificate store using the PVK Digital Certificate Files Importer. You can then export the certificate (.cer) file for use outside of the certificate store.
