Advancing Windows driver security + The Windows Driver Policy

Just read through the Windows driver news. Microsoft will slowly block kernel drivers from the older Microsoft Trusted Root Program. So far so good.

It reads that only WHCP signed drivers will eventually be loaded in the not so far future.

But what does this mean for Attestation signing? Will Attestation signed drivers still be loaded? No single word about that.

Can someone enlighten us?

Yeah it doesn’t address attestation signed drivers at all, so who knows?

on the other hand this is a nightmare for the many legacy hardware devices and their drivers that are installed and running with zero problems and absolutely no good reason to be updated.

Another big ass churn by MSFT that will push more small companies out of the windows market.
