- Generate Root CA Cert (.crt)

2️⃣ Issue Code Signing Certificate

- Signed by Root CA

- Export as .PFX (with private key)

3️⃣ Store in Project Folder

- rootCA.crt

- codeSignCert.pfx

2️⃣ Prepare signing list

- Text file (dll_list.txt) listing all DLLs

3️⃣ Write batch script

- Reads dll_list.txt

- Runs signtool.exe on each DLL using .pfx file

4️⃣ Modify build pipeline

- Calls batch script after DLL compilation

🔒 RESULT: All DLLs digitally signed with .pfx certificate

2️⃣ Update installer script:

- On installation → Adds Root CA cert to Trusted Root Certificate Store on target machine

3️⃣ Bundle Signed DLLs + Installer

4️⃣ Install Application

- During launch, application verifies DLL signatures

✔ Uses Trusted Root CA

✔ Ensures integrity & authenticity
