Windows SDK Signing Tools

The Windows SDK Signing Tools by Microsoft Corporation is a software package that includes tools for signing and verifying files using digital certificates. This package is available for download from the Microsoft website and can be used with various programming languages and development environments.

The package includes the following tools:

• SignTool.exe: A command-line tool that allows developers to sign code and data using digital certificates.
• CertMgr.exe: A command-line tool that manages digital certificates on a Windows-based computer.
• MakeCert.exe: A command-line tool that creates X.509 certificates for testing purposes.

The Windows SDK Signing Tools are primarily used by developers who want to ensure the authenticity and integrity of their software applications. By digitally signing code, developers can provide users with a higher level of assurance that the software has not been tampered with or modified. In addition, signed code is more likely to be trusted by security software and operating systems.

The Windows SDK Signing Tools are compatible with Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2012. They require a valid digital certificate to function properly.
