Code signing utility — validates and manages digital signatures on macOS binaries

Validates code signatures on macOS executables and frameworks, verifying their authenticity and integrity against Apple's certificate chain. Accesses the Keychain and certificate store to perform signature verification and potentially sign binaries with developer credentials. Connects to network endpoints for certificate validation, revocation checking, and timestamp authority services. Exposes two XPC services for other system components to request code signature validation and certificate operations without direct Keychain access.AI
