Introduction

Different Windows versions have different kernel-mode signing options:

  • Windows 7/8/8.1/Server 2012r2
    • Cross-signing
    • WHQL-certified (HCR)
  • Windows 10 desktop
    • Attestation signing
    • WHQL-certified (HLK)
  • Windows Server 2016/2019
    • WHQL-certified (HLK)

According to practical testing done by wintun developers it is possible to cover all Windows 10 platforms with the following HLK setup:

  • HLK controller: Windows Server 2016
  • HLK clients
    • Windows Server 2019 (64-bit)
    • Windows Server 2019 core (64-bit)
    • Windows 10 desktop (32-bit)

Wintun was able to pass HLK testing without any physical HLK clients. But due to its narrower scope it had to pass much fewer HLK tests (~50 in total) than tap-windows6.
