Sorry, Hans, if I am missing the point.
Does the above mean that ConTeXt will be able to sign PDF documents with digital certificates? Well, that's what singing is, right? The problem is actually less in the signing than in the certificates themselves.
Basically one can sign (with some certificate) and then validate. % sign-001.tex \setupinteraction[state=start] \definefield[signature][signed] \defineoverlay[signature][my signature] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1ts,frame=on,framecolor=darkblue] sign: \inframed [background=signature,framecolor=darkred] {\fieldbody[signature][width=3cm,option=hidden]} \stopTEXpage \stoptext after neing processed: mtxrun --script pdf --sign --certificate=sign-001.pem --password=test sign-001 (--library) and: mtxrun --script pdf --validate --certificate=sign-001.pem --password=test sign-001 (--library) etc. works here.
