Hello! So it seems cross-signing certificates for kernel modules will no longer work, and
an EV certificate is now required.
It has been impossible to get an EV certificate so far, as they all require a registered company.
As this is an Open Source project, what options are there available for me?
Further complicated by me living in Japan, and simply creating a company is
somewhat unrealistic. (foreigner, language and $10,000 fund requirement)

Certum, for one, offers certificates for opensource - but they are not EV.
Hope this helps to understand the situation.

Certum looks very attractive, but presumably has the same issue. MS is stopping cross-signing, and needs EV certificates (right?)

Have you looked to see if there is a company that offers services to get the project signed?
