Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
The scope of the declaration that is allowed depends on the SecurityAction that is used.
The properties CertFile, SignedFile, and X509Certificate are mutually exclusive.
The security information declared by a security attribute is stored in the metadata of the attribute target and is accessed by the system at run time. Security attributes are used only for declarative security. For imperative security, use the corresponding permission class.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example of a declarative attribute shows the correct way to request PublisherIdentityPermission and states that you must have at least this permission to run your code. Code will only execute if signed with the Authenticode X.509v3 publisher certificate stored in the file "myX509.cert".
[Visual Basic] <Assembly: PublisherIdentityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum)> 'In Visual Basic, you must specify that you are using the assembly scope when making a request. [C#] [assembly:PublisherIdentityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum)] //In C#, you must specify that you are using the assembly scope when making //a request. [C++] [assembly:PublisherIdentityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::RequestMinimum)]; //In C++, you must specify that you are using the assembly scope when making //a request.
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example shows how to demand that the calling code has PublisherIdentityPermission at link time. Code will only execute if signed with the X.509 publisher certificate stored in the file "myX509.cert".
