Certificates in your Windows personal certificate store that are currently valid (not expired) and that have private keys are displayed here with a summary of the certificate information in tabular form: Issued to, Issued by, Intended purposes, Friendly name, Expiration date, and Location. The purpose of the certificate you select should include code signing.
