Java Jarsigner

2min

Java Jarsigner, a versatile and user-friendly tool designed for developers and businesses, provides a robust solution to sign and verify Java Archive (JAR) files.

Key features

This integration has the following features:

  • Robust signing: Sign your JAR files with various certificate types, including X.509, ensuring users and security systems recognize your Java applications as authentic and trustworthy.
  • Timestamp support: Add a timestamp to your digital signature, proving when the JAR file was signed and safeguarding against potential attacks on expired certificates.
  • Validation and verification: Quickly and easily verify digital signatures on signed JAR files, giving you confidence in the integrity of your Java applications and the authenticity of their source.
  • Flexible certificate management: Import and export certificates by using the Java Keytool, streamlining your certificate management process and making it easier to work with various certificate authorities.
  • Cross-platform compatibility: Use Java Jarsigner on Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring seamless integration with your existing development tools and environment.
  • Comprehensive documentation: Access detailed documentation and support resources to take advantage of the Jarsigner features and capabilities.
  • Integration with build tools: Incorporate Jarsigner seamlessly into your build process by using popular tools like Maven and Gradle, automating the signing of your Java applications.

Benefits of integration through PKCS #11

Integrating with provides the following benefits:

  • Enhanced security: Leveraging a for storing cryptographic keys used by Java Jarsigner significantly boosts the security posture, minimizing the risk of key compromise or unauthorized access.
  • Efficient cryptographic operations: We design our HSMs to handle cryptographic operations efficiently, reducing the time required for signing and verifying JAR files.
  • Compliance readiness: Using a can help you meet various regulatory requirements, such as FIPS 140-2, that mandate secure storage and management of cryptographic keys.
  • Operational resilience: comes with high availability and failover features, ensuring that signing JAR files remains uninterrupted even during system failures.
  • Streamlined key management: Using provides a centralized repository for cryptographic keys, simplifying their management and reducing the potential for errors or unauthorized access.
