Driver signing for testing

Hi! If you're starting to develop a driver, chances are that you'll need to sign it for testing, or for any other reason. In my case we bought a package that includes a driver which needs to be configured, and signed under the end company name.

So to sign a driver using a test certificate, you just have to following 2 steps:

  1. makecert -r -pe -ss PrivateCertStore -n CN=Contoso.com(Test) ContosoTest.cer
  2. Signtool sign /v /s PrivateCertStore /n Contoso.com(Test) /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll amd64\toaster.sys

This, and much more, can be found in the following links.
