Mac OS X code signing suggestions?



Hello,

I have a few questions about code signing:

1. Is there a recommended way of signing executable (Mach-O) code under Mac OS X?
2. Is there a certain kind of certificate that can be used to sign code? Is it possible to get a signed version of this type of certificate from the various authorities out there (Verisign, Thawte, etc.)?
3. I have read in a couple of places that prebinding will break code signing, because prebinding causes the executable file to change, which changes the digest of the executable. I've noticed that Xcode and g++ both have the ability to disable prebinding. If I disable this, am I guaranteed that prebinding information will never change my executable file, or does this just prevent "initial" prebinding?
4. Is there a recommended way of working around prebinding for the purposes of digital signatures? I've seen some code that does this, but I was wondering if there was an Apple-sanctioned way.


Thanks for your time.

Jamie
