I found the Apple documentation far too verbose. I have written up some detailed notes on how I signed my own software for Mac. There is too much to put it all here. See: http://successfulsoftware.net/2012/08/30/how-to-sign-your-mac-os-x-app-for-gatekeeper/

At first you need an fully functional (and thus paid) Apple developer account. Then you can follow this information: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Security/Conceptual/CodeSigningGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html

The above link is the global procedure, but there is a specific topic with clean illustrated how to at the following URL: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Security/Conceptual/CodeSigningGuide/Procedures/Procedures.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005929-CH4-SW2

Hope this helped you.
