What is the preferred way to sign code in Magento?

I’m relatively new to the Magento framework. I am using Magento 2.4.4.

I am trying to figure out how one would code sign their custom components for future distribution.

Is there an easy way to do this within the framework? Or would one need to do it manually with a cert+openSSL? I’ve been digging through the docs and all I could find was a doc on static content sighing.
