Overview
Once your project is set up, you can submit a signing request by either
- Upload an artifact on the web interface
- Integrate a call to SignPath in your build process
Direct upload
For testing purposes or when you have very infrequent releases, you can choose to simply upload the binary artifact via the web interface.
Build process integration
We recommend that you integrate SignPath in your automatic CI pipeline. This has several advantages besides just saving tedious work:
- Elimination of error-prone routine activities provides additional security
- Automatic propagation of metadata, such as version numbers, source code version and build
- Origin verification ensures that the signed binary conforms to a specific source code version
SignPath provides multiple ways to be integrated into your pipeline. See the documentation for details including information about origin verification.
