Yes, of course. This would be the way to implement code-signing. When previously
discussed, the suggestion was to generate a local identity automatically.

Although I am not aware of a method to automatically generate and import a
certificate into the System keychain for code signing except using the
Certificate Assistant in Keychain Access.app.

For the details of code-signing, see these instructions for example:
