Microsoft .NET Strong Name (SN)

This document covers the necessary information to install, configure and integrate Microsoft .NET Strong Name (SN) with CipherTrust KMS.

A SN signature is a mechanism used in the .NET Framework to identify the assemblies. It is a public-key digital signature that is used to verify the data integrity being passed from an originator (signer) to a recipient (verifier). Further, this signature is used as a unique identity for an assembly to ensure that assembly references are not ambiguous.

Strong Name signature helps to restrict the malicious parties from assembly tampering.

SN relies on the cryptographic techniques and use of one or more private keys to sign and time-stamp the published software. It is important to maintain the confidentiality of these keys. The CipherTrust KMS integrates with Microsoft .NET Strong Name to provide a trusted system for protecting the organizational credentials of the software publisher.
