Greetings,

LibusbK is already signed with a DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA.

At some point, I would like to add the WinUSB ISO support to the libusbK 
library and let it become our "primary" driver.  There is little 
advantage to using libusbK.sys compares to the newer WinUsb.sys with ISO 
support.

That said, nothing is going to stop working.  Even if we support WinUSB 
ISO, we will not throw libusbK.sys away.  I would expect most all users 
to WANT to transition to the winusb driver.  There are some big 
advantage because it is essentially a built-in windows driver for custom 
usb devices.  You can even add things to you USB descriptor which 
identifies it as a "winusb" device and eliminate the need for a driver 
installer all-together.

Regards,
Travis
