We're looking to improve security on our webserver by checking each website directory perdically for files that have not been digitally signed by us.

The decission to do this has come from someone above me but I need to go back with the following:

How can you digitally signs files?
A website can potentially have thousands of files - can you batch sign all of them before uploading to the server?
Is this a practical approach or are their other methods we could employ to make sure no files have been uploaded without being digitally signed?

Thanks
