I might be wrong, but I don't think the freely available drivers are signed, unlike the virtio drivers supplied by Red Hat through the Supplementary channel which are signed.
The download page that was just posted here says:

so I guess you can do that part yourself.
Yes, you can sign the drivers yourself, but the issue as I understand it is that for the drivers to work with Windows (Vista, Server 2008, Win7 ??), they need to be signed by a cert that has a chain of trust to Microsoft's root cert. Red Hat (and others) have such a cert and have appropriately signed drivers for their customers. I /believe/ the drivers are redistributable, but they are not signed.
