Signing drivers for Windows 8

For GlobalSign make sure you have these extra certs installed: https://support.globalsign.com/customer/portal/articles/1698751-ev-code-signing-for-windows-7-and-8

This piece of information from the above link was interesting to me:

“At this stage, it may be important to stress out that the trust validation for signed driver binaries (.sys, .dll) and the trust validation for signed driver packages (.cat) are a completely separate process, in that you don’t have to use a kernel mode Authenticode certificate to sign driver packages. A self-signed or any kind of commercial certificate will work equally well, as long as it is installed in the relevant certificate stores.”
