+# Code Signing on Build Servers
+
+We sign things so that we can authenticate them later, but authentication is
+largely a conscious function. Computers are bad at answering "is this real".
+
+Major signing systems (GPG, jarsigner) require presentation of credentials at
+signing time. CI servers don't generally have safe tools for this.
