IEEE Standards Association informed us, what IEEE Taggant System, a component of the IEEE Anti-Malware Support Service (AMSS), will shut down on 31 July 2018. It means, what IEEE Taggant certificates can't be issued after this date.

A lot of virus-protection software already supports the Taggant. We hope this support will not stopped, because taggant-checking code no need to modify, but helps marking clean and safe files.
