Thats what I get for typing from a tiny pda keyboard.

Joke aside, I meant code sign.

Hi Giovanni -

There is no code signing of applications under OS X like on Windows. However, one method would be to provide an md5 sum for your application package and store that on your site for folks to compare against. This is the way most Unix systems validate that a package hasn't been compromised.

        Create the zip'd Package or DMG for your application
        Copy that to your Desktop
        In the Terminal execute:

                cd ~/Desktop
                md5 my_application.zip

You'll get back a return that looks like this:

        MD5 (my_application.zip) = a6135256e2cc9165e30a9a100736198f

The receiver can then run a manual md5 on the package that they download and verify that key against your published key.

Of course, there are other options (PGP, etc.), but md5 does a great job and covers large sized files (i.e.: a DVD image) very safely.
