Yes, exactly. Here drivers are my main concern. To be honest, I'm not
sure if pesign wouldn't be enough to sign .sys and .dll files. In theory
those should be also timestamped (which is not supported by pesign), but
maybe that's only theory? Anyway, as Neal said, there are many more
cases not supported by pesign.
