[RESOLVED] [2005] Code Signing API (signtool.exe)

[GottaGetITDone]

Hey Guys,

I am looking for a way to automate the code signing process (signtool.exe) - I need a code signing API.

Does anyone know if there is this sort of functionality is available programmatically?

I know I could execute signtool.exe from code but was looking for a cleaner method, this is what I will use if there are no other options.

Thanks Guys,
Matt.

I have been looking at the System.Security.Cryptography namespace but I dont think it has the functionality required.

There is a scripting object "Scripting.Signer" and also something called CAPICOM.

Has anyone had any experience in this area?

Problem Solved:

Firstly download the CAPICOM redistributable from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Then a little VB:

Dim signCode As New CAPICOM.SignedCode
Dim signer As New CAPICOM.Signer

signer.Load("Certificate.pfx", "CertPwd")
signer.Options = CAPICOM.CAPICOM_CERTIFICATE_INCLUDE_OPTION.CAPICOM_CERTIFICATE_INCLUDE_END_ENTITY_ONLY

signCode.FileName = "YourCode.exe"
signCode.Description = "YourDescription"
signCode.Sign(signer)
signCode.Timestamp("http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll")

Your code is now signed.

This is a COM object if anyone knows of a .Net implementation of the CAPICOM library please let me know...
