Obtaining Digital Signature for WindowsXP Driver

NTDEV
1

Dear List,

I am working on sample USB UMDF driver provided in the src of WDK. Inorder to make the driver signed, I want to use Windows Logo Kit.

In the Windows Logo Pragram 3.0 FAQ given at :

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winlogo/VistaLogofaq.mspx link, I find a statement mentioning the following:

the new tiered logo program will apply only to Windows Vista.

My target machine has Windows XP operating System. Somebody who is familiar with the signing procedure or already obtained signature from Microsoft, please provide a pointer to get the driver digitally signed.

If I load the driver with the given sample INF file, it is loading. But if I change the ClassGUID value of INF file inorder to see it under correspnding group in Device Manager, Windows throws an warning message box about digital signature.
Regards.

Correct, since the INF file is also a part of the entity which is signed.

Dear List and Shatskih,

That means I should execute DTM to test my driver and need to submit the results to Microsoft as given in Documentation to get it signed. Correct me if I am deviating from the original path.

Regards.
