The main purpose of the digital certificate is to ensure that the application belongs to the entity to which the certificate was issued. The Adobe Systems QA digital certificate does not guarantee that a signed application is safe to run, but rather informs the user that the software was digitally signed by Adobe Systems QA and verified by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).
Adobe Systems Incorporated is a diversified software company. The Company offers a line of business and mobile software and services used by professionals, designers, knowledge workers, high-end consumers, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners, developers and enterprises for creating, managing, delivering and engaging with compelling content and experiences across multiple operating systems, devices and media.

Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a multimedia platform used to add animation, video, and interactivity to web pages. Flash is frequently used for advertisements, games and flash animations for broadcast. Flash content may be displayed on various computer systems and devices, using Adobe Flash Player, which is available free of charge for common web browsers, some mobile phones and a few other electronic devices (using Flash Lite).
