What does it mean for an executable to be "signed and validated"?

I am migrating a driver manager to Vista, and would like for the user not to have to make any UAC changes to be able to run it.

I've added a trustInfo section to the executable's manifest, so now the only UAC setting that gets in the way is "Only elevate executables that are signed and validated." How does one go about signing an executable?

Thanks for any help,
David
