I want to be able to sign my PowerShell scripts anywhere, for example when I’m at a customer, but it’s a hassle having to move the code to where I have my code signing certificate just to sign it. I’ve been experimenting with build jobs in VSTS so if I check in a script a build job will automatically sign it for me, but that requires access to internet and VSTS.

Setting up the key The Yubikey has a small command line tool called the “piv-tool”, it’s downloadable from Yubico’s website.
