Driver signing. All drivers installed on the system as shipped to the customer must be signed. Drivers submitted for Microsoft Windows Logo Program testing must meet the guidelines for driver signing as defined at http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/desinit/digitsign.htm.
Other WHQL test programs that require digital signatures include the following:
-
Hardware Abstraction Layers (HALs): The purpose of the HAL test kit is to test third-party (non-Microsoft) HALs intended for use in server-class systems.
For details about what is tested for HALs, see Chapter 26, “HAL Test Specification,” in WHQL Test Specification.
-
Anti-virus software: WHQL launched a test program, related to the “Designed for Windows XP” Applications Logo Program, for anti-virus applications that include a kernel-mode file-system filter driver. Such applications that pass testing for Windows XP will receive a digital signature for their file-system filter driver, but not the entire application.
For details about what is tested for anti-virus software, see Chapter 21, “Anti-virus File System Filter Test Specification,” in WHQL Test Specification.
Note: Additional requirements related to driver and software quality may be added as tests become available.
