🔒 Code Signing Policy
NETworkManager uses free code signing services from SignPath.io and a free code signing certificate provided by the SignPath Foundation to sign all official binaries and installers, ensuring the authenticity and integrity.
The binaries and installers are built on AppVeyor directly from the GitHub repository. After each build, the artifacts are automatically sent to SignPath.io via webhook, where they are signed following manual approval by the maintainer. Once signed, the binaries are uploaded to the GitHub releases page.
