Digitally signed NVIDIA files not whitelisted?

Which just means its a signature issued by NVIDIA and NVIDIA only but wasn’t verified by a certificate authority. Which doesn’t make it any less valid considering you can extract files with such signature from any drive downloaded from official NVIDIA webpage.

The issuer is not a trusted root CA (The Microsoft Windows O.S does not see the cert as being valid, tests were performed on xp, vista x64, win 7 x32, win 10) … it seems this causes alot of problems not only with comodo but also with other security software according to nvidia forum. However, our team will investigate and manually whitelist these self-signed files.

Self signed signatures are not secure by definition. They should only be used on local networks. It is beyond my understanding why NVIDIA hangs on to this deprecated practice.

Moving to D+ Help board.
