Code signing
Code signing digitally signs software or code to verify its authenticity and integrity. It ensures that the code has not been tampered with and confirms the identity of the author, providing users with confidence in the software they install and run.
Integrating systems for code signing enhances the security and trustworthiness of software distribution. These integrations provide a robust framework for digitally signing code, managing certificates, and verifying signatures to ensure the integrity and authenticity of software.
Code signing integrations handle several important tasks, including:
- Generating and managing certificates: Create and maintain digital certificates for signing code.
- Signing code: Apply digital signatures to software to verify its source and integrity.
- Verifying signatures: Ensure that code signatures are valid and the software has not been altered.
- Configuring policies: Define and enforce policies for code signing and certificate management.
- Maintaining compliance: Adhere to industry standards and regulatory requirements for secure code signing.
- Implementing best practices: Follow guidelines for secure and efficient code-signing processes.
- Troubleshooting issues: Address and resolve common problems in code signing.
