The Microsoft Trusted Root Program no longer supports root certificates that have kernel mode signing capabilities.
For policy requirements, see Windows 10 Kernel Mode Code Signing Requirements.
Existing cross-signed root certificates with kernel mode code signing capabilities will continue working until expiration.As a result, all software publisher certificates, commercial release certificates, and commercial test certificates that chain back to these root certificates also become invalid on the same schedule. To get your driver signed, first Register for the Windows Hardware Dev Center program.
Frequently asked questions
Some certificates that are listed in the previous tables have expired. However, these certificates are necessary for backward compatibility. Even if there's an expired trusted root certificate, anything that was signed by using that certificate before the expiration date requires that the trusted root certificate is validated.
What is the expiration schedule of the trusted cross-certificates?
The Free SSL Certificate is a fully functional Domain name validation SSL certificate that is issued by the root named “WoSign CA Free SSL Certificate”. Google, Mozilla and Apple have announced that WoSign is to be considered insecure due to many cases of misissuance and deception as well as backdating of SSL certificates in an attempt to. In some Windows 7 environment, VeriSign Universal Root Certification Authority is not in the certificate list, but it cannot be downloaded by the system automatically. So I want to download and insert it to the certificate list with a C API silently (not pop some dialog).

What alternatives to cross-signed certificates are available for testing drivers?
For all options below, the TESTSIGNING boot option must be enabled.
For testing drivers at boot, see How to Install a Test-signed Driver Required for Windows Setup and Boot.
For more info, see Signing drivers during development and test.
What will happen to my existing signed driver packages?
As long as driver packages are timestamped before the expiration date of the leaf signing certificate, they will continue working.
Is there a way to run production driver packages without exposing it to Microsoft?
No, all production driver packages must be submitted to, and signed by Microsoft.
Does every new Production version of a driver package need to be signed by Microsoft?
Yes, every time a Production level driver package is rebuilt, it must be signed by Microsoft.
Will we continue to be able to sign non-driver code with our existing 3rd party issued certificates after 2021?
Yes, these certificates will continue to work until they expire. Code which is signed using these certificates will only be able to run in user mode, and will not be allowed to run in the kernel, unless it has a valid Microsoft signature.
Will I be able to continue using my EV certificate for signing submissions to Hardware Dev Center?
Yes, EV certificates will continue to work until they expire. If you sign a kernel-mode driver with an EV certificate after the expiration of the cross-certificate that issued that EV certificate, the resulting driver will not load, run, or install.
How do I know if my signing certificate will be impacted by these expirations?
If your Cross Certificate Chain ends in Microsoft Code Verification Root, your signing certificate is affected.
To view the cross certificate chain, run signtool verify /v /kp <mydriver.sys>. For example:
How can we automate Microsoft Test Signing to work with our build processes?
Your build processes can call the Hardware Dev Center API.
For samples that show usage, see the Surface Dev Center Manager repository.
Starting in 2021, will Microsoft be the sole provider of production kernel mode code signatures?
Yes.
Hardware Dev Center doesn't provide driver signing for Windows XP, how can I have my drivers run in XP?
Drivers can still be signed with a 3rd party issued code signing certificate. However, the certificate that signed the driver must be imported into the Local Computer Trusted Publishers certificate store on the target computer. See Trusted Publishers Certificate Store for more information.
How do production signing options differ by Windows version?
| Driver runs on | Drivers signed before July 1 2021 by | Driver signed on or after July 1 2021 by |
|---|---|---|
| Windows Server 2008 and later, Windows 7, Windows 8 | WHQL or cross-signed drivers | WHQL or drivers cross-signed before July 1 2021 |
| Windows 10 | WHQL or attested | WHQL or attested |
If you have challenges signing your driver with WHQL, please report the specifics using one of the following:
- Use the Microsoft Collaborate portal, available through the Microsoft Partner Center Dashboard, to create a feedback bug.
- Go to Windows hardware engineering support, select the Contact us tab, and in the Developer support topic dropdown, select HLK/HCK. Then select Submit an incident.
Will I be able to continue signing drivers with a certificate that chains to a cross-cert that expires after July 1, 2021?
No, kernel-mode drivers must be signed with a WHQL signature after July 1st, 2021. You cannot use a certificate that chains to a cross-cert that expires after July 1, 2021 to sign kernel-mode drivers. Using these certificates to sign kernel-mode drivers after this date is a violation of the Microsoft Trusted Root Program (TRP) policy. Certificates in violation of Microsoft TRP policies will be revoked by the CA. Additional certificates may be present on the kernel-mode driver, however Windows ignores those signatures for the purpose of validating the driver.

Troubleshooting
If Zimbra doesn't come up after the restart, chances are that you have error messages like the following in your logs:
Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
The culprit is the missing CA for the VeriSign Trial Secure Server Test Root CA.You can import the CA with the following command:
# /opt/zimbra/java/bin/keytool -import -alias <ALIAS> -keystore /opt/zimbra/java/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass <PASSWORD> -file /opt/zimbra/conf/ca/commercial_ca.pem
