I just checked pricing:

www.verisign.com
 Sun Java Signing Digital ID
 CodeSigner Standard US$400
 CodeSigner Pro US$695
  * their web site had remarkably little information as to the
    difference between Standard and Pro
  * no information about annual renewal fee
  * I will call them to get more info

www.thawte.com
 Initial code-signing certificate US$199
 Annual renewal US$159


In addition to being more expensive, VeriSign seems to have a somewhat
tarnished reputation these days. In large part because of their
NetworkSolutions subsidiary.

> any idea if SF themselves might be able to help in this regard?


I have sent two emails to SF asking them about a code signing service. I
think that it would be a good service for them to offer as part of their
project support services. Unfortunately, to date I have not received a
response from SF.
