Is there a way to request that the build pipeline for prebuilt DLLs
and tools for Windows be modified to include Authenticode signatures?
There is no means provided to verify the integrity of these
executables, which means that anyone can download from the official
URLs but have their connections intercepted to provide virus-laden or
otherwise adulterated versions.  (And, let me tell you, manually
verifying GPG signatures gets old after the first seven or more times
one must do so.)

Serving via https would eliminate the MITM-interception attack, but
unsigned binaries still provide a vector for local persistence of
infection because they prevent the implementation of Windows Software
Restriction Policies that prevent all unsigned code from running.

Thanks for your time!
