IMX Code Signing

The tool provides a signing and verification engine for code artifacts, enabling developers, DevOps, and security teams to sign releases and verify provenance. It accepts artifacts, a signing key or certificate, and parameters such as hash algorithm and timestamping. It outputs a signed artifact, a signature file, and a verification manifest.
Conceptually, signing binds a cryptographic signature to an artifact using a private key; verification checks the signature with a public key and validates the certificate chain and timestamp. The tool supports RSA and ECDSA, multiple hash algorithms, and optional timestamp authorities to ensure long-term validity.
Beneficiaries include developers, DevOps engineers, and security teams seeking repeatable signing in CI/CD, auditable metadata, and PKI-compatible tooling and outputs. Its unique value lies in integration-friendly results (signature files, metadata, and verification reports) that fit into existing release workflows.
Core features include input validation, signature generation, artifact hashing, signature verification, certificate chain validation, optional timestamping, and exportable artifacts. Typical use cases cover signing release binaries, installers, container images, and library artifacts with verifiable provenance and traceable logs.
