I don't know. Steve is using it as Authenticode certificate,
which NuGet also seems to be planing to use:

http://blog.nuget.org/20150203/package-signing.html

but I have no experience with .NET code signing.

They also seem to have settled for a slightly different
approach since writing the above blog post:

https://github.com/aspnet/Signing/blob/dev/Spec.md

which doesn't look compatible with Authenticode.

It will certainly work for signing executables and msi
installers.

Perhaps Steve can help with this.
