Node.js Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+

Authenticode Sign a PowerShell Script (.ps1, .psm1, .psd1)

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign a PowerShell script. PowerShell scripts (.ps1), modules (.psm1) and data files (.psd1) can be signed starting in Chilkat v11.7.0. The signature is appended to the file as a comment block, and the file keeps its text encoding. Node.js
