Trusted Application Deployment, part of the ClickOnce deployment technology, makes it easier for organizations of any size to grant additional permissions to a managed application in a safer, more secure manner without user prompting. With Trusted Application Deployment, an organization can just configure a client computer to have a list of trusted publishers, who are identified using Authenticode certificates. Thereafter, any ClickOnce application signed by one of these trusted publishers receives a higher level of trust.

You must follow these steps to take advantage of Trusted Application Deployment:

1. Obtain a certificate for the publisher.
2. Add the publisher to the trusted publishers store on all clients.
3. Create your ClickOnce application.
4. Sign the deployment manifest with the publisher's certificate.
5. Publish the application deployment to client computers.
