Can I sign .exe files using .spc and .pem files?

Question

What are the steps to sign a.exe file?

I already have a PKCS #7 Certificate (.spc file*), because I've used it to sign.jar files
*but it was requested using the keytool with a.csr file as follows http://help.godaddy.com/article/4780

The specific question is:
How do I sign.exe files? and if this.spc file works or I need a new one?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

All you need is OpenSSL and signtool.exe .

1. Combine the certificate and private key files into a PFX file .
2. Use the signtool.exe to sign your code .
