Code Signing

Code Signing

Code signing is a critical security process that uses digital signatures to verify the authenticity and integrity of software code, executables, scripts, and binaries. It assures end-users that the software comes from a trusted publisher and has not been altered or tampered with since it was signed—preventing malware distribution and building confidence in downloads.

QCecuring Code Signing Platform

QCecuring delivers an enterprise-grade, secure code signing solution designed for modern DevOps and high-scale environments. Built with security-first principles, it eliminates common risks in traditional code signing (e.g., exposed private keys on developer machines).

Key highlights:

• Digest-based signing — Clients compute hashes locally; only hashes are sent for signing (no full file uploads).
• Hardware-protected keys — Private keys never leave tamper-resistant HSMs (PKCS#11, AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, GCP KMS).
• Policy-driven controls — Fine-grained policies, optional quorum approvals, and role-based access.
• Scalable & asynchronous — RabbitMQ-powered queue for high-volume signing without delays.
• Seamless integrations — mTLS agents, PKCS#11 providers for native tools (Jarsigner, Signtool), CI/CD pipelines.
• Full auditability — Comprehensive logs for compliance and forensics.
