Hi Ted,
My certificate expires in the fall, but the cross signed certificate that it relies upon expires in April. So, in April, I'll still be able to sign a driver, but Windows won't load it unless integrity checks are disabled. It's an extra step to disable integrity checks in addition to disabling secure boot, but it might be workable. I might be able to renew the certificate in the fall, and we can just keep working like that, having to disable secure boot and integrity checks. Alternatively, I can self sign the driver, and using the driver will require installing my certificate on the root certificate on the PC and putting Windows in "Test Mode" so that it will accept any certificate. This puts a water mark in the corner of the screen, but the driver will load. Some programs that rely on copy protection, like say a blue-ray player, may be programmed not to work in test mode.
It's basically a huge pain.
Maybe if I have time to move things forward enough, we might fund-raise to buy one year of EV certificate and cover any legal fees when we feel the driver is basically finished. But, after the year, I lose the ability to address bugs or adjust to OS changes in the kernel driver without coming up with another $500 US for the cert and whatever additional legal fees are involved. It's all a huge pain.
