This is targeted for signing the contents of  NuGet packages that are using unsigned assemblies, in order to be able to link to these packages where the consuming project is strongly named. Access to the original source code is not required, and you may sign any assembly with your own strong naming key. You may also delay-sign if desired.

Details
=======

All cmdlets accept pipeline input. The AssemblyFile parameter is aliased to PSPath, so it will
bind to piped files.  

* Test-StrongName [-AssemblyFile] <string[]>  [<CommonParameters>]

   Returns true if an assembly has a strong name.

* Import-StrongNameKeyPair [-KeyFile] <string>  [<CommonParameters>]
* Import-StrongNameKeyPair [-KeyFile] <string> -Password <securestring>  [<CommonParameters>]

   Imports a simple unprotected SNK or a password-protected PFX, returning a StrongNameKeyPair
instance for consumption by Set-StrongName. If your PFX file has a blank password, you must
provide a SecureString of the empty string "". SecureString instances are returned from
   the Read-Host cmdlet with the -AsSecureString parameter.

* Set-StrongName [-AssemblyFile] <string[]> -KeyPair <StrongNameKeyPair> [-NoBackup] [-Passthru]
   [-Force] [-DelaySign] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]  [<CommonParameters>]

   Assigns a strong name identity to an assembly.

   The -KeyPair parameter accepts a System.Reflection.StrongNameKeyPair output from the
Import-StrongNameKeyPair cmdlet., which accepts either simple unprotected SNK files or
password-protected PFX files.

   The -NoBackup switch directs the cmdlet to skip creating a .bak file alongside the newly
signed assembly.

   The -Passthru switch will output a FileInfo representing the newly signed assembly to
the pipeline.

   The -DelaySign switch will create a delay-signed assembly from a public key only SNK
(it can also create one if the SNK contains both private and public keys.) This is useful
if you can't get access to the full private key at your company. This will allow you to
compile against previously unsigned nuget packages at least.

   The -Force switch will allow you to overwrite an existing strong name on an assembly.

   NOTE: You may supply -WhatIf to see what _would_ be done, without actually doing it.

*  Get-AssemblyName [-AssemblyFile] <string[]>  [<CommonParameters>]

   Returns a System.Reflection.AssemblyName instance from any assembly file.
