I guess I was only thinking of having a driver signed by something like
GoDaddy.com. Not exactly the image I was wanting for our products :-).
Thank you,

I would assert that there is not one user in million that knows how to find
this information, and far fewer that care.
It's a little bit dangerous to say that your driver is "verified" by
VeriSign. All of this signing stuff is really about liability. You sign
the driver to ensure that the driver package has not been altered since the
point you created it. VeriSign just asserts that you are who you say you
are.
Basically, the entire purpose of these digital signatures is to make sure
that a company can find someone to sue if your driver causes capacitors to
explode and fill the office with smoke.
