https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/crx is the documentation 
that mentions the signing. There are a couple of scripts there that 
will create a signed .crx file. I also wrote one a while ago[0].

I don't know how crx files integrate with Google's developer account 
or Google store / play / whatever stuff, as I've not used them, but 
IIRC if you distribute the extension yourself, any updates have to 
be signed by the same private key.
