Jarsigner (Java)

Integrate QCecuring with Jarsigner to centrally manage keys and certificates for signing Java artifacts.

View docs Jarsigner

Overview

QCecuring integrates with Jarsigner to give security and developer teams centralized control over keys and certificates used to sign Java archives (JARs). This reduces the risk of key sprawl, weak protection of signing keys, and inconsistent signing practices across teams.

Key capabilities

  • Centralized management of code-signing certificates and keys used by Jarsigner.
  • Policy-driven rules for which teams or pipelines can sign which artifacts.
  • Auditable signing workflows with full traceability of who signed what, when, and with which key.
  • Integration hooks for CI/CD pipelines that currently invoke Jarsigner directly.

Typical use cases

  • Java-based products and internal applications distributed as JARs.
  • Software publishers aiming to harden and standardize their signing processes.
  • Organizations needing audit-ready records of code-signing operations for compliance.

High-level integration flow

  1. Onboard your existing Jarsigner workflows into QCecuring, using centrally managed keys and certificates.
  2. Configure code-signing policies, approval steps, and allowed certificate profiles in the platform.
  3. CI/CD pipelines request signing operations via QCecuring, which brokers key access and Jarsigner invocation.
  4. Signing events, metadata, and artifacts are recorded, enabling downstream verification and audits.
  5. Keys can be rotated or revoked centrally without modifying every pipeline or build script.
