Drivers submitted to WHQL that pass testing with the final released Windows 2000 products will be given a Microsoft digital signature. This digital signature will be associated with individual driver packages and will be recognized natively by Windows 2000 systems. If a file has not been digitally signed and resides in the above-referenced classes, users will be notified that a file has not been digitally signed, and prompted whether they would like to continue.
Driver signing uses the existing digital-signature cryptographic technology.
The relationship between the driver package and its CAT file is referenced in the driver's INF file and maintained by the system after the driver is installed. All rights reserved. Terms of Use. No Did not apply Please provide additional comments about this information.
