In the first post in this series, we explored the security need for an IT professional to identify who the author of a piece of code (like a PowerShell script) is. The challenge with that is producing evidence of the identity of the author that’s formatted in a way that the consumer of that script can use it.

That interaction is somewhat like the interaction between a speeder and a police officer. The officer needs to prove the identity of the driver in much the same way that an IT pro needs to identify a scripter. The officer can ask for a driver’s license, but what can an IT Pro ask for?
