Understanding SPCs

An SPC is a software publisher certificate, stored in a pfx file. The pfx stores private and public keys and can be used for signing releases. The pfx suffix stands for Personal Information Exchange. Some CAs (certificate authorities) store private keys in a .pvk file in which case a conversion to .pfx can be performed using the Pvk2Pfx tool. It also works on .spc files (not to be confused with spectroscopic data files!).
