Hardware Lab Kit is a tool to test and prepare a kernel mode driver for submission to Microsoft. Currently eSigner CKA also requires the HLKSigntool to be installed in order to be used within Microsoft’s HLK software.
eSigner CKA (Cloud Key Adapter) is a Windows application utilizing the CNG interface (KSP Key Service Provider) to enable tools like certutil.exe and signtool.exe to access the eSigner Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC) API for enterprise-level code signing. Functioning as a virtual USB token, it loads code signing certificates directly into the Windows certificate store.
eSigner CKA must first be installed and configured (user logged-in, and TOTP secret set) before running HLKSignTool.exe.
Requirements
- Purchase an SSL.com Code Signing Certificate or Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing Certificate
- Enroll your code signing certificate in eSigner
- Download and install eSigner CKA
