Phil-

 

Of course you are correct, that link didn't pertain to UMDF. Sorry 'bout
that....  Take a look at the following:

Excerpted from the page:

 

UMDF drivers do not require Code Integrity Signing since they aren't
kernel-mode code. However your driver package still needs to be signed
so that it can't be tampered with & can be traced back to the author (or
you continue to have unsigned driver popups). And if your package
includes any non-Microsoft kernel-mode drivers in addition to the
user-mode driver then the Code Integrity Signing rules apply to that
too.

 

  I'm not sure how that impacts what is proposed for Mercury and what
you want to do for QS1R.
