How to code sign binaries on Windows
Briefly

Certificates can be exported using either the MMC interface or PowerShell commands. The MMC interface, while simpler, allows for exporting certificates including the private key. PowerShell commands provide additional flexibility in the export process. Users can retrieve the path to the certificate and create files for the private key and certificate. The exported files, such as FakeCA.pfx and FakeCA.crt, must be correctly managed for secure usage. Additionally, users can create certificates signed by the fake root authority using PowerShell for enhanced security in applications.
