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:

  • Uses familiar signing tools which are broadly supported by the user’s operating system.

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

  • Eliminates signature formatting issues.

The following list provides some popular native signing tools that can be used with Signum:

  • Jsign

  • Jarsigner and APK signing

  • Container signing with CosignDotnet Nuget signing

  • Adobe PDFs

  • macOS codesign and productsign
