Remote hash generation in a system and method for providing code signing services

摘要

A system and method for providing code signing services to software application developers or to other individuals or entities that wish to have applications digitally signed. Signing of the applications may be required in order to enable the applications to access sensitive APIs and associated resources of a computing device when the applications are executed on the computing device. In one embodiment, a hash of an application is generated by a requestor of code signing services. The hash of the application, and not the application itself, may then be received in a code signing request to be digitally signed.
