Abstract
A computer-implemented method for validating application signatures may include maintaining a signature-validation database that associates application publishers with signature keys by, for each application in a set of applications, (1) identifying a key used to sign the application, (2) determining that the application claims to be provided by a publisher, (3) verifying that the claimed publisher provides the application, and (4) maintaining, in response to verifying that the claimed publisher provides the application, an association that indicates that the publisher of the application is authorized to use the key. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
