Does cloud based trusted signing support on premises servers?

Question

What documentation is found is not clear about trusted signing supporting on premises servers. What it does state is "Trusted Signing technology is built to integrate easily into on-premises code signing infrastructure, enabling convenient cloud migration." I'm wondering if it supports on premises servers without enabling cloud migration.

Hi Kerry Kidwell,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community Forums.

Cloud-based trusted signatures are typically implemented through online services that verify the integrity and trustworthiness of software and provide digital signatures for the software. Although these services are cloud-based, they can often be verified and integrated on local servers as well.

The local server may communicate with the cloud service to verify the signature and integrity of the software. The local server may send hashes or other identifiers of the software to the cloud service and receive the corresponding signature verification results from the cloud service. This integrated approach ensures the security and integrity of the software in the local environment while taking advantage of the cloud service for verification.

Thus, while cloud-based trusted signatures are primarily provided through online services, they can often be integrated and used with local servers to meet the security needs of a business or organization.
