Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A signed ActiveX control is one that has been digitally signed by its developer or publisher, indicating that it is a safe and trustworthy control to use. This helps to prevent unauthorized or malicious controls from being installed on a user's computer. Encrypted controls may help protect against tampering or interception, but they do not provide authentication of the source. Logical and safe are not terms commonly used to describe ActiveX controls.
