drivers are (can be) shipped as totally separate pieces of code.
You missed my point. The crypto-service program they sign might be a
DES library. One implementation would be entirely in software;
another would be a front-end interface with hardware (essentially a
driver), perhaps as part of the kernel [Admittedly I'll have to
re-read MS's specs].
So say you're a manufactuer or DES hardware... you sure would like to
get that covetted 'Win95' logo on your package if you want to go
mainstream.
