SignServer is a platform for digitally signing code, documents and timestamps. It helps ensure that your signature keys are secure and your workflows are easy, safe, and auditable.
The SignServer signing software offers a comprehensive server-side signing solution with a wide range of signature plug-ins. It efficiently handles multiple signature use cases and allows organizations to manage them within a single installation. For enhanced security, signature keys are centrally stored, preferably within a Hardware Security Module (HSM), and users undergo authentication prior to signing.
Engineers widely appreciate this software as it supports projects at various stages, from prototyping to full deployment. Furthermore, scaling the software is effortless as it allows the addition of more instances, enabling infinite scalability.
With its robust features and flexibility, the SignServer signing software has gained significant popularity among engineers and organizations alike.
With SignServer, you can digitally sign code, documents, and timestamps. Integration capabilities make workflows easy, safe, and auditable, and we recommend using an HSM to secure your signing keys.
SignServer Community edition is an open-source project sponsored by Keyfactor and licensed under LGPL v2.1. The source code and container editions are available for free download. Moreover, SignServer is also available in an Enterprise edition, and a 30-day free trial is available on AWS and Azure marketplaces.
Community vs Enterprise edition
Using one central signing solution rather than multiple distributed signing islands allows for better management, higher security, and lower costs.

The first version of SignServer was released by PrimeKey* in 2005 when new signing solutions were needed for the then-new biometric passports, an area that required private key protection. PrimeKey offered consultancy services around the open-source product until the Enterprise edition was developed and released in 2012.
During the years since then, SignServer has grown to support many signature types and has become a very popular server-side signature solution. The Community edition is available as prebuilt binaries, containers, or source code.
SignServer Enterprise edition is ideal for organizations that require guaranteed stability and support as well as a more advanced signature solution. In addition, SignServer Enterprise can be deployed as software or hardware appliances and on AWS or Azure cloud.
