osslsigncode

osslsigncode is a small tool that implements part of the functionality of the Microsoft tool signtool.exe - more exactly the Authenticode signing and timestamping. But osslsigncode is based on OpenSSL and cURL, and thus should be able to compile on most platforms where these exist.

Installation

Linux

Check github.com for installation instructions.

macOS

brew install osslsigncode

Usage

osslsigncode [OPTIONS]

Commands:
add                    = add an unauthenticated blob or a timestamp to a previously-signed file
attach-signature       = sign file using a given signature
extract-signature      = extract signature from a previously-signed file
remove-signature       = remove sections of the embedded signature on a file
sign                   = digitally sign a file
verify                 = verifies the digital signature of a file
