OpenVsixSignTool

OpenVsixSignTool ("OVST") is an open source implementation of the VsixSignTool written in .NET. It is comparable in features, with a few benefits.

OVST was signed to make using certificates from the certificate store easier by simply specifying the certificate's thumbprint. This is necessary when using a certificate whose private key lives in hardware, such as an HSM or SmartCard. OVST is also able to use a certificate from a PKCS#12 file as the original tool was.
