- Signing Tool (signtool)
- 1.3 Release Notes
- ========================================
- Documentation is provided online at mozilla.org
- Problems or questions not covered by the online documentation can be
- discussed in the DevEdge Security Newsgroup.
- === New Features in 1.3
- =======================
- The security library components have been upgraded to utilize NSS_2_7_1_RTM.
- This means that the maximum RSA keysize now supported should be 4096 bits.
- === Zigbert 0.6 Support
- =======================
- This program was previously named Zigbert. The last version of zigbert
- was Zigbert 0.6. Because all the functionality of Zigbert is maintained in
- signtool 1.2, Zigbert is no longer supported. If you have problems
- using Zigbert, please upgrade to signtool 1.2.
- === New Features in 1.2
- =======================
- Certificate Generation Improvements
- -----------------------------------
- Two new options have been added to control generation of self-signed object
- signing certificates with the -G option. The -s option takes the size (in bits)
- of the generated RSA private key. The -t option takes the name of the PKCS #11
- token on which to generate the keypair and install the certificate. Both
- options are optional. By default, the private key is 1024 bits and is generated
- on the internal software token.
- === New Features in 1.1
- =======================
- File I/O
- --------
- Signtool can now read its options from a command file specified with the -f
- option on the command line. The format for the file is described in the
- documentation.
- Error messages and informational output can be redirected to an output file
- by supplying the "--outfile" option on the command line or the "outfile="
- option in the command file.
- New Options
- -----------
- "--norecurse" tells Signtool not to recurse into subdirectories when signing
- directories or parsing HTML with the -J option.
- "--leavearc" tells Signtool not to delete the temporary .arc directories
- produced by the -J option. This can aid debugging.
- "--verbosity" tells Signtool how much information to display. 0 is the
- default. -1 suppresses most messages, except for errors.
- === Bug Fixes in 1.1
- ====================
- -J option revamped
- ------------------
- The -J option, which parses HTML files, extracts Java and Javascript code,
- and stores them in signed JAR files, has been re-implemented. Several bugs
- have been fixed:
- - CODEBASE attribute is no longer ignored
- - CLASS and SRC attributes can be be paths ("xxx/xxx/x.class") rather than
- just filenames ("x.class").
- - LINK tags are handled correctly
- - various HTML parsing bugs fixed
- - error messages are more informative
- No Password on Key Database
- ---------------------------
- If you had not yet set a Communicator password (which locks key3.db, the
- key database), signtool would fail with a cryptic error message whenever it
- attempted to verify the password. Now this condition is detected at the
- beginning of the program, and a more informative message is displayed.
- -x and -e Options
- -----------------
- Previously, only one of each of these options could be specified on the command
- line. Now arbitrarily many can be specified. For example, to sign only files
- with .class or .js extensions, the arguments "-eclass -ejs" could both be
- specified. To exclude the directories "subdir1" and "subdir2" from signing,
- the arguments "-x subdir1 -x subdir2" could both be specified.
- New Features in 1.0
- ===================
- Creation of JAR files
- ----------------------
- The -Z option causes signtool to output a JAR file formed by storing the
- signed archive in ZIP format. This eliminates the need to use a separate ZIP
- utility. The -c option specifies the compression level of the resulting
- JAR file.
- Generation of Object-Signing Certificates and Keys
- --------------------------------------------------
- The -G option will create a new, self-signed object-signing certificate
- which can be used for testing purposes. The generated certificate and
- associated public and private keys will be installed in the cert7.db and
- key3.db files in the directory specified with the -d option (unless the key
- is generated on an external token using the -t option). On Unix systems,
- if no directory is specified, the user's Netscape directory (~/.netscape)
- will be used. In addition, the certificate is output in X509 format to the
- files x509.raw and x509.cacert in the current directory. x509.cacert can
- be published on a web page and imported into browsers that visit that page.
- Extraction and Signing of JavaScript from HTML
- ----------------------------------------------
- The -J option activates the same functionality provided by the signpages
- Perl script. It will parse a directory of html files, creating archives
- of the JavaScript called from the HTML. These archives are then signed and
- made into JAR files.
- Enhanced Smart Card Support
- ---------------------------
- Certificates that reside on smart cards are displayed when using the -L and
- -l options.
