Yes, technically, the certificate of an Executable is located in the overlay of the executable, which is, never mapped into memory.

Most of the time, Analysis tools separate/distinguish between the Certificate and the "rest" of the overlay (if available).

e.g. "pestudio" separates these logical entities...
