Another small technical detail. Windows has a mechanism to sign executables. The certificate in this mechanism is defined with the following structure [0]: typedef struct _WIN_CERTIFICATE { DWORD dwLength; WORD wRevision; WORD wCertificateType; BYTE bCertificate[ANYSIZE_ARRAY]; } WIN_CERTIFICATE, *PWIN_CERTIFICATE; UEFI has a shockingly simmilar structure [1, page 1812]: typedef struct _WIN_CERTIFICATE { UINT32 dwLength; UINT16 wRevision; UINT16 wCertificateType; //UINT8 bCertificate[ANYSIZE_ARRAY]; } WIN_CERTIFICATE; [0] https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn582059(v=vs.85).aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn5...
