Multisigner launched yesterday on it’s own domain (multisigner.com). The first drop of the product supports signing Firefox Extensions/Toolbars direct from the MS Windows ‘Personal’ certificate store.
How easy is it? Check out the link below which will take you to the launch page.
Over the next few weeks the other combinations will be made available. Multisigner will be a commercial product but people who contributed feedback and donations to XPISigner will receive Multisigner for free.
Now available from the download page.
- Updated the readme.txt in the zip to the latest version.
- Some VM’s displayed FileNotFound exceptions when the META-INF folder didn’t exist. Added explicit checks and create folders as required.
- Removed some debugging statements e.g., “bc” from the output.
- When running from a folder other than the baseDir the value of baseDir needed to fully qualified. Now you can use relative paths e.g., ..\..\src
- Some PFX files fail to load and cause an “IllegalKeySize” exception. This is still being investigated.

Linkback from the guys at www.copysafe.net, they were one of the first to try out XPISigner and helped squash the early bugs. Much appreciated!

It took about three months but now XPISigner is listed on the

When running XPISigner with a PFX generated from SPC & PVK files you may run into the following error…
“unwrapping private key – java.security.InvalidKeyException: Illegal key size”
This may have two causes:
- The unlimited strength policy files are not installed in your
%JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/security folder.
- The PFX that was generated is not well formed. See below for instructions on how to export a correctly formatted PFX from IE.
Exporting a PFX from Internet Explorer
Go to Tools | Internet Options | Content | Certificates
Select your cert/key and click Export…
Choose to export the private key.
On the next screen choose to “Include all certificates in the chain” and “Strong private key protection”
Give it a password and save to a different filename.
