Depends upon where the signature is. Windows typically
puts these things inside the .exe or .dll itself, which means
that SEE will need to pull apart the PE/COFF file to verify
the signature.
Portable.NET already has code for pulling apart PE/COFF
files. If there was some SEE oracle available that I could
ask "Is this valid according to SEE guidelines?", then I can
hook it through during the program load process.
Cheers,
Rhys.
