Hi,

I want to sign MyDriver.sys with an authenticode signature appended to the
.sys file, just like a normal user mode DLL. The driver is for Server 2003
and Vista, x86 and x64. I realize this will have no effect on the install
prompts etc. My question is, will the signature adversely affect the loading
of the driver, assuming the checksum is OK? My concern is that the driver
loader might be confused by the signature added to the .sys file.

Thanks

Vista surely allows embedded signatures.

Thanks, but my main concern is Server 2003 SP1.

Shouldn't make any difference.

It won't affect the signature on your catalog file, if you have one.
The signature isn't included in the hash, so you can add a signature without
affecting the hash.

Hope this help.
