To generate product sign, i have to know product certificate. But i can't get this product certificate from my crt file. How can i do product mode sign. Look at below image.

Answer 1

1. You have to first get EV Code signing Certificate for EV signing.
2. Create cab file of your driver and sign that cab file.
3. Now upload this EV signed cab file to sys dev portal for attestation signing or what ever signing type your product need.

You can follow driver signing policy given in this link

Answer 2

If your kernel driver is targeting Windows 10 64 bit, build 1607 then you'll need to sign your sys and the cat file with an EV code signing certificate. Then you'll need to submit them to the Windows Sys Dev Portal, Microsoft will attest them. Please refer to this attestation-signing-a-kernel-driver-for-public-release

If your kernel driver has been developed for Windows 8.1, 8 or 7, 64 bit then you'll just need to sign your sys and cat files with an EV code signing certificate. Please refer to this blog , David has covered almost every topic related to driver signing.
