Code signing

Hi,

I didn't see anything directly on point about this
(forgive me if I missed it, please) but is there any
facility for code signing a cocoa app?

I'd like a nice OS-supported means of making sure my
apps aren't edited/hacked. I realize that the Keychain
must do some sort of CRC or simple file size check
("application has changed... allow?"), but that
doesn't seem to be exposed.

I'd thought about putting the required CRC/file size
info on a server somewhere, and then having the
installer query for it, but that seems a bit
overboard. It also has the distict disadvantage of
failing if the user downloads, then wants to install
later without an internet connection. (Which happens
more often than I would have guessed.)

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!
