# Using Code Signing

Learn how to sign records, messages, and attachments to help verify the authenticity and integrity of your data.

-   **[Sign the JDBC data source records in the protected instance](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/cs-jdbc.md)**

    Use update sets to sign and validate the JDBC data sources by enabling the code signing in protected and trusted instances.

-   **[Sign the REST and SOAP messages in the production instance](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/cs-rest-soap.md)**

    Use update sets to sign and validate the REST and SOAP messages by enabling the code signing in protected and trusted instances.

-   **[Sign the flows, subflows, and actions in the protected instance](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/cs-fdih.md)**

    Use update sets to sign and validate the flows, subflows, and actions by enabling the Code Signing in protected and trusted instances.

-   **[Sign specific records or attachments](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/sign-specific-records.md)**

    Create a security job to sign specific records or attachments rather than all records or attachments on a table.

-   **[Standalone signing tool](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/sa-code-signing-tool.md)**

    Use the standalone Signing Tool to sign supported records in ServiceNow applications using your own private key.

-   **[Signature generation during source control commit](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown)**

    Generate signatures automatically when you commit application files to source control from a trusted instance in ServiceNow Studio. The signatures are added to the same update set as their source records and pushed to the remote repository together.

-   **[Signature Verification in Code Signing](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/signature-verification-in-code-signing.md)**  
Signature verification helps confirm that records, scripts, and other signed content originate from trusted sources and remain unaltered.
