Christof is correct that WiX doesn't own the process of signing any particular file - signtool.exe does that job. If you don't have any external cabinets, just use signtool.exe to sign your MSI, and you're done.
If you do have external cabinets (i.e. you have Media elements where Media/@EmbedCab is set to "no") and intend to sign your MSI, your MSI should contain information about the expected digital signatures of its associated external cabs. To do this, see the documentation for the "DigitalSignature" element, or in WiX 3.5, there is a new tool called "Insignia" to make this process easier - see wix.chm for more information about Insignia in WiX 3.5.
