I am trying to sign and certificate a .cab file packaging .dll and .ocx files on Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 8.0.

In order to find out how to do, I've consulted the MSDN libary: it says, "You provide a digital signature by purchasing a certificate from a certificate authority. A certificate authority is a company that validates your identity and issues a certificate to you.".

But I know that it needs to pay to purchase a certificate from a certificate authority, right?

If then, I don't want it. As you know, I'd like a free one and I am not in a condition for purchasing it.

If is there anyone who knows how to do it not from a certificate authority, but only using own root certificate, please inform me..

You pay for the privilege of being able to side code. It's fundamental to their concept of "certifying" you as being trustworthy.

This thread is probably as close is you're going to get, where people are looking for certificates for open source projects.
