To ensure the integrity and secure source of OpenHarmony applications, the applications must be signed during the build process. Only signed applications can be installed, run, and debugged on real devices. [developtools_hapsigner](https://gitee.com/openharmony/developtools_hapsigner) provides the source code of the HAP signing tool - hapsigner. This tool can be used to generate key pairs, certificate signing requests (CSRs), certificates, profile signatures, and HAP signatures.

- CSR
The CSR contains the public key, subject, and private key signature of a certificate. Before applying for a certificate, you need to generate a CSR based on the key pair and submit the CSR to the Certificate Authority (CA).

- Certificate
OpenHarmony uses the RFC5280 standard to build the X509 certificate trust system. The OpenHarmony certificates used for application signatures are classified into the root CA certificate, subordinate CA certificate, and application or profile signing certificate. The application signing certificate indicates the identity of the application developer, which ensures the traceability of the source of the applications. The profile signing certificate is used to verify the signature of the profile, which ensures the integrity of the profile.

### Procedure
### Signing Procedure
The process of signing a HAP is as follows:
1. Generate a key pair for an application signing certificate.
2. Generate an application signing certificate.
3. Sign the profile.
4. Signing the HAP.
4. Sign the HAP.

1. The ECC algorithm is recommended for generating key pairs for application signatures for security purposes. The RSA algorithm is not recommended.<br/>
2. You are advised to place the HAP, profile, **OpenHarmony.p12**, root CA certificate, subordinate CA certificate, and hapsigner in the same directory for easy operation.<br/>
