Answer / kamlesh sharma
A common use of attributes is to provide a strong name for
an assembly. assemblies that have a strong name can be
placed in the global assembly cache. The global assembly
cache enables a single assembly to be shared among multiple
projects. The global assembly cache can be used to share
multiple copies of the same assembly,
tool for that
command
sn -k mykey.snk
and then add this key in assembly information like
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("mykey.snk")]
and paste in global assembly catch
like
gacutil /i filename.dll

Answer / priya
Strong name is like a GUID (globally unique Identifier.)
Strong Name is only needed when we need to deploy assembly
in GAC. Strong Names helps GAC to differentiate between two
versions.
Strong names use public key cryptography (PKC) to ensure
that no one can spoof it.PKC use public key and private key
concept.
strong name is given using SN.EXE
