SigTools is a command-line utility for converting a certificate into a byte array. Supported inputs are Android .apk
app files or those formatted according to Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER), which generally contain an X.509 binary certificate used for secure websites. Output is formatted as a Java class, a hexadecimal string, a base64 encoded string or a DER file and also is copied to the host-system clipboard. Optionally, the output can be written to a file.
The HEX or DER output forms of this utility can be used to create a signature file for securing apps using the Zebra Access Manager CSP.

Sample apps are for demonstration purposes only and should not be used in production environments.
// For APK files: Extract public signing certificate from an APK and create
// a JAVA class with an initialized byte array:
Java -jar SigTools.jar GetCert -INFORM APK -OUTFORM JAVA -IN test.apk -OUTFILE test.java
// Convert DER file to hexadecimal string:
Java -jar SigTools.jar GetCert -INFORM DER -OUTFORM HEX -IN test.x509.pem -OUTFILE test.hex
