實現可擴展、安全且一致的代碼簽名

12月 13, 2024
Vsoft Technologies 推出的 Signotaur 是一個自託管的代碼簽名伺服器，在確保私密金鑰安全性的同時可簡化證書共用。

Signotaur is a robust and secure code-signing solution from VSoft Technologies designed to streamline the process of digitally signing software. It provides organizations with a centralized platform to sign code and software binaries while ensuring compliance with security standards. Signotaur manages digital certificates, safeguards private keys within a secure environment, and enables automated or manual signing workflows, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or tampering. With its focus on efficiency, scalability, and strong audit capabilities, Signotaur is tailored for enterprises that require secure, traceable, and consistent code-signing processes to build trust in their software.

Signotaur's key features include:

  • BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys) - Use your own Organizational Validated (OV) or Extended Validation (EV) certificates.
  • Uncompromising Security - Your private keys stay safely within your server, never leaving the hardware security module (HSM), token, or server itself.
  • Unlimited Signing - No signing limits, unlike cloud-based services that may impose restrictions.
  • Effortless CI Integration - Easily integrate with your CI/CD pipelines, automating your code signing process.

Code signing has evolved significantly in recent years, driven by heightened security demands and the need for more robust key management solutions. With the demand to secure private keys, many developers have encountered challenges with USB tokens, as well as limits and costs connected with cloud-based signature systems. Read more about the challenges of using USB tokens and how Signotaur offers an effective and secure alternative: Code Signing with USB Tokens - VSoft Technologies Blog.

Signotaur is licensed per server (physical or virtual). The initial license includes a 1 year support and updates subscription which can be optionally renewed each year. See our Signotaur licensing page for full details.
