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 application s 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 itsel f, may then be received in a code signing request to be digitally signed.
