cloud-code-signing
In the world of software development, code signing certificates are one of the pivotal security tools assisting developers to secure their software, apps, executables, drivers, etc from unauthorized tampering or alteration.

Furthermore, post-June 2023, physical tokens like Hardware Security Modules(HSMs) are mandatory for obtaining code signing certificates from CAs as per the CA/B Forum. To evade using HSM or physical tokens cloud code signing is the best available option.

Cloud code signing offers a platform for developers to digitally sign the code remotely using cryptographic keys managed by the service provider in a secured cloud-based environment. The cloud code signing technology helps developers to streamline the software signing procedure by eliminating the usage of physical hardware token devices for issuing and maintaining signing certificates.
