Strong-Named Assemblies

A strong name consists of the assembly's identity — its simple text name,
version number, and culture information (if provided) — plus a public key and
a digital signature. It is generated from an assembly file (the file that
contains the assembly manifest, which in turn contains the names and hashes
of all the files that make up the assembly), using the corresponding private
key. Microsoft® Visual Studio .NET® and other development tools provided in
the .NET Framework SDK can assign strong names to an assembly. Assemblies
with the same strong name are expected to be identical.

You can ensure that a name is globally unique by signing an assembly with a
strong name. In particular, strong names satisfy the following requirements:
