Help - What is Code Signing?

| Could anyone give me a brief explanation of code signing?
Basically I have two development Smartphones and I have run spdps by doing
the following:
C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\SMARTPHONE2003\Tools\spdps /device
And selected:
Smartphone Privileged Development Code-Signing
Once I've done this, I can run my own application (DLL) on the phones, But
what does spdps do? Does it only allow me to run my application on my
development smartphones? If yes, how do I get my application to run on all
Smartphones?

Thanks

The articles mentioned are the best way, but in short:
It provisioned down onto your phone that certififcate, and put it in the
priviledged store, so now any program signed with that certifiate will
run in priviliedged mode, and have access to the privileged API's. these
are listed in on of the previously mentioned articles.

yes

if it doesn't require a priviledged signing, then you can get it signed
by etrust/verisign et al. if it does use a priviledged API then you need
it signed by the mobile2market program.
