Developing teams in need of a command-line tool that digitally signs files, verifies the signatures in files, and time stamps files

About SignTool

The software industry must provide users with the means to trust code including code published on the Internet. Many webpages contain only static information that can be downloaded with little risk. Some pages, however, contain controls and applications to be downloaded and run on a user's computer. These executable files can be risky to download and run. Packaged software uses branding and trusted sales outlets to assure users of its integrity, but these guarantees are not available when code is transmitted on the Internet. Additionally, the Internet itself cannot provide any guarantee about the identity of the software creator. Nor can it guarantee that any software downloaded was not altered after its creation. Browsers can exhibit a warning message that explains the possible dangers of downloading data of any kind, but browsers cannot verify that code is what it claims to be. A more active approach must be taken to make the Internet a reliable medium for distributing software.

The jarsigner tool has two purposes, to verify the signatures and integrity of signed JAR files and to sign Java Archive (JAR) files. A digital signature is a string of bits that is computed from some data (the data being signed) and the private key of an entity (a person, company, and so on). Similar to a handwritten signature, a digital signature has many useful characteristics, its authenticity can be verified by a computation that uses the public key corresponding to the private key used to generate the signature, it is a function of the data signed and thus cannot be claimed to be the signature for other data as well, the signed data cannot be changed. If the data is changed, then the signature cannot be verified as authentic and It cannot be forged, assuming the private key is kept secret.
