Unfortunately, no. Due to technological differences between Authenticode and Object Signing, as well as differences in the security and authentication policies of Microsoft and Netscape, software publishers will need to obtain separate software signing certificates if they wish to sign code for Authenticode and Object Signing. VeriSign is actively investigating options for making these certificates interoperable.
