Until now we were using the authenticode-parser crate for Authenticode parsing and verification. This is simply a Rust wrapper around https://github.com/avast/authenticode-parser which is written in C and uses OpenSSL under the hood. Depending on OpenSSL makes building and deploying YARA-X harder, specially when you want to integrate YARA-X in other systems.
With this change all the Authenticode parsing and validation is re-written in Rust.
