Confusion in code signing certificate

Yes, you'll need a code signing or Authenticode certificate.

When customers buy software from a store, the source of that software is evident. Customers know who published the software, and also see whether the package has been unsealed. These factors enable them to make decisions about what software to buy and how much to rely on those products.

Customers downloading applications signed with a Code Signing Certificate from your website can be confident that code comes from you and not been altered since its creation and signing. A Digital ID acts as virtual "shrink-wrap" for your software. If your code is tampered in any way, after it is signed, the digital signature will break and cautions customers that the code is not credible.

When customers download software signed with a Code Signing Certificate, they can be assured of:

Content Source: End users can confirm that the software really comes from the publisher who signed it.

Content Integrity: End users can verify that the software has not been modified since it was signed.

A Code Signing Certificate allows IT developers to digitally sign their software before distribution over the Web. End users downloading your digitally signed 32-bit or 64-bit program can be confident that the code has actually come from you and has not been modified since it was signed.

So, as per my understanding , I can ignore Driver Signing Certificate and order Code Signing Certificate.

As I think driver signing certificate is used when we create any driver file let's say USB driver etc.
