Hash algorithms are utilized for integrity checks. They can verify that nothing has changed on a certificate, that a file downloaded correctly, that a signed document hasn't been tampered with, and more. Although your Code Signing Certificate may be signed by GlobalSign to verify its integrity, when you sign code, you may also specify the hash algorithm used when validating the digital signature on your program or driver. This is called the file digest (/fd).
