This document shows you how to use the Futurex CNG library to configure the KMES Series 3 to use Microsoft Signtool. For other questions about the KMES Series 3 device, see the relevant administrator guide. Microsoft SignTool uses a code signing certificate to digitally sign files, verify signatures in files, and timestamp files. By integrating with the KMES Series 3, every time you run a SignTool command, the system retrieves from the KMES the private key of the code signing certificate stored on the KMES.
