Description
The user provides an important line of defense in protecting the system against the installation of malicious software. It is more likely that software will be installed from unknown sources if the user is unaware of the transactions. Revealing the signatory of downloaded software to the user enables the user to identify rogue or suspect sources prior to installation, and possibly abort the transaction or report the concern to the IAO.
