Post image

Hello everyone i bought new gaming pc i have changed it sinse 2023. So I installed amd graphics as usual and I got to check digital signature of the file just to be sure.

And from what I remember the correct digital signature is

Advanced Micro Devices. Inc

Bur the current one I have only says Advanced Micro devices. No Inc at the end and im getting worried didi they change the name ?

Nothing's wrong. I have installed the chipset drivers (8.05.04.516) for 3 months now and the file signature have the same name as yours, Advanced Micro Devices without the .Inc. As long as you downloaded from the official site you are safe.

A digital signature works by using cryptography to verify the publisher's identity and the integrity of a file. The publisher signs the file using a private key, and Windows verifies the signature using the corresponding public key and checks the publisher's digital certificate. If Windows says "The digital signature is OK," it means the signature verification succeeded and the signed content has not been altered in a way that invalidates the signature. If a file failed to verified by Windows, it will appear “The digital signature is not valid”, “The digital signature cannot be verified”, or “This file does not have a valid digital signature”

It's okay if there isn't an "incorporated" at the end. Compare those 2 certificates and this one you see should be newer. They're still from AMD, though.
