Abstract
A code signing system operating a web portal for user clients and a web service for automated machine clients. The web service can receive an operation request from a code signing module running on a remote machine client, the operation request including a request for a cryptographic operation and user credentials retrieved from a hardware cryptographic token connected to the machine client. The code signing system can perform the requested cryptographic operation and return a result to the machine client if the code signing system authenticates the machine client and the requested cryptographic operation is within a permissions set associated with the machine client.
