What is kernel mode software?

3.2k views Asked by At

I'm looking into signing a driver I made. A lot of the Microsoft documentation references "kernel mode software." What is that? It's mentioned in a lot of places, but it doesn't seem to be defined anywhere. How do I know if my driver is kernel mode software? My driver is a customized version of the Silicon Labs VCP driver. Thanks.
