Code Sign using Azure Key Vault

Both Xcode and codesign [1] support keys vended by a CryptoTokenKit app extension. You can build such an extension for either a hardware token or a virtual token, for example, a network accessible key vault. I don’t know if such an extension exists for your specific key vault vendor; you should ask them. If not, you could write your own, assuming they publish the protocol necessary to interact with their vault.

If you decide to go down the ‘write your own’ path, post back here so that I can share some hints and tips on that front.

[1] In the Xcode case this is a relatively recent development. It definitely works with Xcode 14. If older versions of Xcode are relevant to you, lemme know and I’ll track down when the fix rolled out.

Thanks, @eskimo !

I would love to know more about the effort to develop a CryptoTokenKit app extension.

Writing my own path is definitely a possible path I would take if I can't find anything ready that works for me.

Thanks again!

Hello @GCatenacci

I find myself in the same situation you described 6 months ago - did you have any luck getting this to work? Did you end up building a CryptoTokenKit extension?

Thanks!
