+# Sign Debian Packages
+
+Sign a Debian package using a registered APT package signing service.
+
+Currently, only on-upload signing is supported.
+
+## On Upload
+
+!!! tip "New in 3.9.0 (Tech Preview)"
+
+Sign a Debian package when uploading it to a repository.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Have an `AptPackageSigningService` registered
+  (see the [signing service guide](site:pulp_deb/docs/user/guides/signing_service/)).
+- Have the V4 fingerprint of the key you want to use. The key must be accessible by the signing
+  service you are using (the fingerprint is forwarded via `PULP_SIGNING_KEY_FINGERPRINT`).
+
+### Instructions
+
+1. Configure a repository to enable signing.
+    - Both `package_signing_service` and `package_signing_fingerprint` must be set on the
+      repository (or provided via the REST API fields with the same names).
+    - With those fields set, every package upload to the repository will be signed by the service.
+    - Optionally, set `package_signing_fingerprint_release_overrides` if you need different keys per
+      dist.
+2. Upload a package to this repository.
+
+### Example
+
+```bash
+# Create or update a repository with signing enabled
+http POST $API_ROOT/repositories/deb/apt \
+  name="MyDebRepo" \
+  package_signing_service=$SIGNING_SERVICE_HREF \
+  package_signing_fingerprint=$SIGNING_FINGERPRINT
+
+# Upload a package
+pulp deb content upload \
+  --repository ${REPOSITORY} \
+  --file ${DEB_FILE}
+```
+
+### Known Limitations
+
+**Traffic overhead**: The signing of a package should happen inside of a Pulp worker.
+  [By design](site:pulpcore/docs/dev/learn/plugin-concepts/#tasks),
+  Pulp needs to temporarily commit the file to the default backend storage in order to make the Uploaded File available to the tasking system.
+  This implies in some extra traffic, compared to a scenario where a task could process the file directly.
+
+**No sign tracking**: We do not track signing information of a package.

+
+
+## Packages
+
+!!! tip "New in 3.9.0 (Tech Preview)"
+
+Package signing is available as a tech preview beginning with pulp_deb 3.9.0. Unlike metadata
+signing, package signing modifies the `.deb` file directly, so it uses the
+`deb:AptPackageSigningService` class.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Install `debsigs` and ensure it can access the private key you want to use.
+- Familiarize yourself with the general signing instructions in
+	[pulpcore](site:pulpcore/docs/admin/guides/sign-metadata/).
+- Make sure the public key fingerprint you provide matches the key available to `debsigs`. During
+	package uploads the fingerprint is passed to the script via the
+	`PULP_SIGNING_KEY_FINGERPRINT` environment variable.
+
+### Instructions
+
+1. Create a signing script capable of signing a Debian package with `debsigs`.
+		- The script receives the package path as its first argument.
+		- The script must use `PULP_SIGNING_KEY_FINGERPRINT` to select the signing key.
+		- The script should return JSON describing the signed file:
+			```json
+			{"deb_package": "/absolute/path/to/signed.deb"}
+			```
+2. Register the script with `pulpcore-manager add-signing-service`.
+		- Use `--class "deb:AptPackageSigningService"`.
+		- The public key fingerprint passed here is only used to validate the script registration.
+3. Retrieve the signing service `pulp_href` for later use (for example via
+	 `pulp signing-service show --name <NAME>`).
+
+### Example
+
+The following script illustrates how to sign packages using `debsigs`. It copies the uploaded file
+into a working directory (defaulting to `PULP_TEMP_WORKING_DIR` when present), signs it in place,
+and emits the JSON payload expected by pulp_deb.
+
+```bash title="package-signing-script.sh"
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+set -euo pipefail
+
+PACKAGE_PATH=$1
+FINGERPRINT="${PULP_SIGNING_KEY_FINGERPRINT:?PULP_SIGNING_KEY_FINGERPRINT is required}"
+WORKDIR="${PULP_TEMP_WORKING_DIR:-$(mktemp -d)}"
+SIGNED_PATH="${WORKDIR}/$(basename "${PACKAGE_PATH}")"
+
+cp "${PACKAGE_PATH}" "${SIGNED_PATH}"
+debsigs --sign=origin --default-key "${FINGERPRINT}" "${SIGNED_PATH}"
+
+echo {"deb_package": "${SIGNED_PATH}"}
+```
+
+```bash
+pulpcore-manager add-signing-service \
+	"SimpleDebSigningService" \
+	${SCRIPT_ABS_FILENAME} \
+	${KEYID} \
+	--class "deb:AptPackageSigningService"
+
+pulp signing-service show --name "SimpleDebSigningService"
+```
