[05] Let's get technical!

The change point detection wizard has been written in Python and includes a CustomTkinter user interface. The Python program has been converted into an executable file (.exe) using the PyInstaller package. This allows the user to run the wizard without installing a Python interpreter or any of the associated modules. The .exe file has been signed using Azure Trusted Signing to provide assurance of authenticity and code integrity.

If you look into the details of our digital signature you will see that the certificate is only valid for three days and is probably now expired. Rest assured this is standard practice as Azure issues short-lived certificates to minimize the impact and risk of certificate abuse or compromise. We have used a trusted timestamp that proves our code was signed while the certificate was active and as a result our signature remains valid indefinitely.
