All you need to do is to check the "digitally sign setup program" option in INF-Tool. You can then enter the required command sequence to sign the setup program, the following variables for the command are currently supported:
%%f will be replaced by the original filename of the package
%%p will be replaced by the path of the package filename
%%t will be replaced by the project title defined in Step #1.
Ditital certificates can be ordered at companies like Thawte and others.
