Scenario: I create my own root certificate for Authenticode (used to sign executable only). Easy. Unfortunately, it will only work on computers where I have installed the certificate!
So, I want to become an official CA (the root certificate will be present on all Windows of the world). As a bonus, I can sell this service to others :)
TL;DR: I want to become a official CA recognized by Microsoft for signing executables only (Authenticode, not SSL/TLS).
Questions: is it possible to submit its root certificate to Microsoft for they integrate with Windows? What are the costs? Is it possible for an individual and/or small business?
Thank you in advance!
