About this tag
The win_certificate tag covers discussions about the Windows Authenticode signature verification process, specifically focusing on changes introduced in Microsoft Security Advisory 2915720. This advisory announced an update altering how Windows validates signatures for binaries signed with the Authenticode format. The key change, enabled from June 10, 2014, disallows extraneous information in the WIN_CERTIFICATE structure, meaning non-compliant binaries will no longer be recognized as signed. Topics include security updates, signature verification, and compliance requirements for software signing on Windows systems.
