# Create a signing job for IoT in AWS Signer
Create a signing job

To start a signing job, you need to specify the following:
+ The source S3 bucket of the IoT binary to be signed
+ A signing profile
+ The destination S3 bucket for the signed file

A signing job has a status of `InProgress` while it is being processed, and after completion, the status changes to `Succeeded`. If Signer is unable to generate a signature, the signing job updates to `Failed`. Signing fails for a zip file if the file is empty, already has a signature, or is malformed.
