Hello,
We’ve been working to sign all the distributable artifacts for our product, but we currently don’t have a solution for signing ZIP files on Windows. We’ve been attempting to use Signtool (the same tool we use for signing other artifacts on Windows, like MSI files), but it seems as though it is not supported. Signing these ZIP files on Linux is not an option since we need our customers to be able to easily verify the signatures on their Windows clients, and customers are unlikely to have tools like OpenSSL available on these machines.
Also, since they’re third-party tools we’re distributing, it’s not preferable for us to change or modify them just to sign them. What options are supported for signing ZIP files on Windows? Currently, this is a blocker for us to distribute these files.
Thanks in advance!

Hello, may I know if you have got any chance to check my answer? I am glad to help if you have any other questions.
Hi @Goud, Rahul,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
The .zip file is unable to be signed by SignTool.
Maybe you can refer to the similar issue.
Sincerely,
Anna
