Verisign doesn’t care WHY, but WHO you are. You must be a business via one
of several ways to acquire that, and of course you must be willing to part
with 800 schekels for the class 3 code signing certificate. I’ve paid for
that certificate twice, and the ONLY contact I have with Veri-sign from the
time the certificate is delivered, was for them to tell me they wanted more
schekels when the certificate was about to expire. Not once did Verisign
EVER asked why or for what I intended to use the ceretificate.

Subject: RE:[ntdev] Why is signing drivers such a mess?
I’d LOVE to see a “we’ll sign your drivers for a few bucks” type company
emerge.
How a company like is supposed to get its key to sign code??? Will
VeriSign or any other signing authority issue a key for a company that makes
money by signing code to anyone who wishes to pay few dollars , without
assuming any legal liability for damages that code signed with its key may
do??? After all, it just defeats the very purpose of code signing, in the
first place…
However, if what you had mentioned in your post, indeed, becomes true, if
will be just a wonderful practical explanation of why the very concept of
driver signing (at least in its currently existing form) is fundamentally
flawed in itself…
