Jsign is a Java implementation of Microsoft Authenticode that lets you sign and timestamp executable files for Windows. Jsign is platform independent and provides an alternative to native tools like signcode/signtool on Windows or the Mono development tools on Unix systems.
Jsign comes as an easy to use Ant task to be integrated in any automated build. It's especially suitable for signing executable wrappers and installers generated by tools like NSIS, exe4j, launch4j or JSmooth. Jsign can also be used with Maven using the Antrun plugin, or standalone as a command line tool.
Jsign is free to use and licensed under the Apache License version 2.0.
