Native Signing Tools

In general, Signum can sign with any platform native signing tool that can access certificates using the Microsoft KSP interface for cryptographic service providers, or with a PKCS11 interface. There are several benefits to signing with platform native signing tools, including:

• Simplifies the signature verification because it is typically built into the native tool.

• Eliminates signature formatting issues.
