Hi there,

I have a question regarding the WHQL Digital Signature.
According to this link,
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?
url=/library/en-us/gstart/hh/gstart/gs_sign_3wx3.asp),
"Changing or replacing any of the files in the driver
package, including the INF file or the catalog file
itself, invalidates the digital signature".

I have a question. If I include a .txt file inside the
signed driver package, and then I update the .txt file,
will it invalidate the WHQL signature? Even if the txt
file is not included inside the .inf SourceDisksFiles
section?

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Michael

It depends on the exact details of how you're doing it, but in general
if a file doesn't appear in the INF file, then it's not part of the
digital signature, so changing it won't invalidate the signature
(however, if it's wrapped up inside a cab file or something which *is*
copied by the INF, then it might invalidate the signature).
