> sign by Microsoft you USB Driver ?
There are two types of signatures: driver signature and WHQL signature.
Speaking of driver signatures, it is required to have certificate issued by
VeriSign or similiar authority (that can be used to sign drivers). Then if a
party has such a certificate they can sign as many drivers as they want (until
it expires).
Speaking of WHQL signatures, AFAIK GPL-licensed drivers cannot get WHQL
signature due to license reasons. Besides that, it's pretty expensive (250$ per
operating system family per driver). However, I plan to run the WHQL tests
anyway. The only downside of not getting a WHQL signature that affects USBPcap
is the warning screen about not certified driver during installation.
The ReactOS foundation has a VeriSign code signing certificate and they run the
Driver Signing program [1]. I have sent inquiry to the contact provided on that
page. If there will be a developer willing to review the code, then the USBPcap
might get the driver signed.
