Description
Checksum is supported, but the signing with PKCS#7 would require some work. Should be relatively straightforward to support with https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.pkcs.cmssigner
Also see Windows Authenticode Portable Executable Signature Format (.docx)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs.CmsSigner API and the Authenticode Portable Executable Signature Format document linked in the issue. Trace how the library currently handles PE checksums, then determine the signing entry point and validation needed for PKCS#7 Authenticode support. Done means PE images can be signed in the supported format.
