I have a client-server architecture in my application that uses SSL. Currently, the private key is stored in CAPI's key store location. For security reasons, I'd like to store the key in a safer place, ideally a hardware signing module (HSM) that is built for this purpose. Unfortunately, with the private key stored on such a device, I...

How are assemblies resolved in .net. I mean, how is an assembly with a fully qualified name resolved. I am confused about the public/private key tokens and strong naming. Thanks EDIT: I have also read about delayed signing and stuff like that. Do people really use it? (Has anyone actually used delay signing) Who generates the key to sig...
