It sounds super interesting. I've actually been looking for a way to deal with certificates (and ditch the warnings from Windoze) for internal C# tools at work.
- jeroenhd 8y agoYou can generate your own CA using common open source software (openssl is often used) and use that to sign your packages (and sign any intranet websites you can't be bothered to set up letsencrypt for). This website has a nice intro into running your own CA: https://roll.urown.net/ca/index.html https://roll.urown.net/ca/index.html You can use the CA itself or an intermediary to sign your software. However, be aware that this will only work on computers with your personal CA installed in the trust store. I'm pretty sure network admin related versions of Windows also have tooling for operations like this but I have no experience with those. Be warned though, a self-signed CA can be dangerous if someone else gets their hands on your private key. I myself have set up intermediary CAs to deal with HTTPS certificates or code signing certs so I can store the CA private key somewhere safe.
