Answer:

It means the driver has been tested by Microsoft, and its an unaltered file.

Step-by-step explanation:

A signed driver ensures that comes directly from Microsoft, it hasn't been modified by any other group or otherwise would lose the signature, the driver is associated with a digital certificate that allows Windows to test its authenticity.

Since drivers work at very high-security levels on Windows OS, installing unsigned drivers it's a considerable risk.
