PROGRAM:

NAME


signcode - Digitally sign an PE executable using an X.509 certificate.

SYNOPSIS


signcode [options] filename

DESCRIPTION


Digitally sign an PE executable (CLR assembly, Win32 EXE or DLL) using an X.509
certificate and it's associated private key. The signature is compatible with
Authenticode(r) and can be validated with chktrust (either on Windows or on any platform
supported by Mono).

OPTIONS


-spc spcfile
The Software Publisher File (spc) that contains the X.509 certificate chain used to
digitally sign the PE executable.

-v pvkfile
The Private Key File (pvk) that contains the private key used to digitally sign the
PE executable. This private key must match the public key inside the publisher
X.509 certificate.

-a md5 | sha1
The hash algorithm used in the digital signature of the PE executable. The default
algorithm is MD5.

-$ individual | commercial
Add information about the publisher, i.e. if the signature is generated by an
individual or a commercial entity.

-n description
Add a textual description of the signed file.

-i url Add a URL associated to the publisher or the signed file.

-t url URL to a timestamp service to countersign the PE executable. Countersignature is
required if you want the PE executable signature to be valid after the publisher
certificate expires. The countersignature proves that the publisher had a valid
(non-expired) certificate when the PE executable was signed.

-tr # Number of retries to get a timestamp for the countersignature.

-tw # Delay (in seconds) between the retries to get a timestamp for the countersignature.

-k name
CryptoAPI key container name (when not using -v).

-p name
CryptoAPI provider name (when not using -v).

-y # CryptoAPI provider type (when not using -v or -p).

-ky signature | exchange | #
CryptoAPI key type (when not using -v).

-r localMachine | currentUser
CryptoAPI key location (when not using -v).

OTHER CODE SIGNING TECHNOLOGIES


Assemblies are PE files that can also be strongnamed using the sn.exe tool. The order of
code signature is important if a file requires both an Authenticode and a strongname
signature. Strongname must be applied before the Authenticode signature. Applying a
strongname after the Authenticode signature, like re-signing an assembly (e.g. delay-
sign), will invalidate the Authenticode signature.

KNOWN RESTRICTIONS


signcode cannot generate Authenticode signatures for CAB files.
