Instructions for Signing VeraCrypt for Windows:
------------------------------------------------
The folder "Signing" contains a batch file (sign.bat) that will sign all
VeraCrypt components using a code signing certificate present on the
certificate store and also build the final installation setup.
The batch file suppose that the code signing certificate is issued by Thawt.
This is the case for IDRIX's certificate. If yours is issued by another CA,
then you should put the Root and Intermediate certificates in the "Signing"
folder and then modify sign.bat accordingly.
