Windows 10: Unsure if purchase or not a codesign certificate for custom xinput dll

Hi I like to create a custom version of xinput1_3.dll to put in to binary folder where there is the game exe file.

My question is: what happen if I sign the dll without a trust organization certificate using only a private key ?

Is possible that an application can freeze if call a DLL not signed ? Or the trust organization certificate prevent UAC security popup only ?

I have compiled the open source project "x360ce" but the application freeze after call the xinput1_3.dll file compiled by me and signed with private key.

I need to buy a codesign certificate ? Or there is another solution ?

:)

 

Disable windows codesign certificate check

I like to create a custom version of this open source project:

x360ce/x360ce

for personal use (I like to add more features).

Unfortunatenly the developer stop the support and the only way is modify the source code.

In short this project extend the windows xinput support for controller that support only direct input (like mine) without install additional drivers.

The original compiled dll from the developer work, but when I try compile this source code using this official guide:

x360ce/x360ce

The application freeze when call the dll compiled by me (but work with original dll).

The developer was not include the prf certication file, so I have created one with private key.

Attached the information of my dll and dll of the developer.

So I don’t know if the application freeze becouse the dll is not signed by a trust organization or becouse there is a bug due source code not updated.

For this reason I ask if there is possible disable temporarily the codesign certificate check, so in this way I can understand if the dll freeze becouse is not signed by a trust organization.

Can you help me please ?

Best Regards

Marco

Implementing custom CryptoAPI-Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) entry points (functions) in DLL file which need to integrate with Microsoft Office application for Digital Signature process

We followed the steps described in the link given below

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-

We also carried out the following steps:

• Created a DLL (custom CSP) which is exposing the CryptoAPI entry function in DLL.
• Custom CSP dll file was signed using Microsoft Code Signing Certificate.
• We made the appropriate changes in registry settings to add custom CSP and placed the dll in /windows32/ folder.
• We made self-signed digital certificate using MakeCert tool
  and this certificate is linked to the custom CSP dll by changing the property of certificate using Cryptography functions (CertSetCertificateContextProperty)
• We also have a hardware token which has the private key stored in it.
• Now as a trial run, we made a trial CSP dll to ascertain the function calls being made by MS Word by writing into a log file. On trying to create a Digital Signature it is only calling the following functions:
  
  • CPAcquireContext
  • CPGetUserKey and
  • CPDestroyKey
• We are unable to access the other functions as given below:
  
  • CPEncrypt
  • CPCreateHash and
  • CPSignHash

We solicit anyone help in providing any inputs to implement a fully working custom CSP DLL.

Thanks,

Narendra
