Supported Signing Formats

Signum+ supports code signing through native operating system integrations, leveraging platform tools such as KSP/CSP on Windows, PKCS#11 on Linux, and Keychain on macOS, as well as through SignServer as a centralized signing backend.

For the Signum guides, see Integration & Signing Guides. For SignServer Signer guides, refer to the SignServer documentation.

SignServer capabilities are only available with Signum+. To see if SignServer is included in your deployment, the information is on your Portal Dashboard.
