Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for providing code signing services. A public key and a corresponding private key may be required in order to enable applications to access sensitive APIs and associated resources of a computing device when the applications are executed on the computing device. In one embodiment, a method of providing code signing services will comprise the steps of receiving a code signing request to sign a software application accessing a sensitive application programming interface, wherein the code signing request comprises the software application that the requestor is requesting to have signed with a private key which is associated with the sensitive application programming interface; digitally signing the software application, wherein a digital signature is generated using said private key associated with the sensitive application programming interface; and transmitting the digital signature.
