This section demonstrates two Microsoft SignTool commands (signtool sign and signtool verify). The signtool sign command applies specifically to this integration because it is the only SignTool command that initiates communication with the KMES Series 3. SignTool must be able to access the private key that is stored on the KMES to complete the code signing operation successfully.

​
Sign a file using the configured code signing certificate

The following example signs an .exe file, but you can sign other types of files by using SignTool. Refer to the following URL for details: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/seccrypto/cryptography-tools

If the command succeeds, you see the following message:
