Strong Names and Security in the .NET Framework

This article is a great introduction to building .NET assemblies with strong names. I’ve always known that it’s a good idea to create a strong name for the assemblies that I create, and it makes things “better” if I do so, but it wasn’t ever really explained (that I saw, anyway) why this was such a good idea. That is no longer the case – this article goes into great detail why you should strong name assemblies, the different options you have for doing so, and the pros and cons of each. It’s definitely a great read.
