Nothing is impossible for MS .NET

Public Keys are not the same

Aim: I wanna guarantee that only signed assembly have the access to my class library. SO I make use of the .net StrongNameIdentityPermissionAttribute to protect my assembly. When testing ,I encounter the different public keys of a same public/private key pair.

1. Extract the public key from the keyfile

Sn -tp montaque.snk

the public key echos:

Public key is
0702000000240000525341320004000001000100eb3a0ffb39f8d13e553d77c40399287cb7f29e

7c5ef152596caa2a890027

Public key token is 7a2a95f64f29bc4f

the key length is 1192

2. extract the public key of the signed assembly.

Public key is
0024000004800000940000000602000000240000525341310004000001000100eb3a0ffb39f8d1

c11ae2b9

Public key token is 9bcbe75a245746b6

 

I am suprised that why two keys are not equal, does they have some relationship like mapping or hashing?

 

sn -Tp mysignedassembly.dll

It is the wrong way to extract public key from the key file.

You should first extract public key from the key pair file to the public key file:
sn -p montaque.snk montaquepublic.snk

then use the following command to see the public key:
sn -tp montaquepublic.snk

And you will see the correct public key.
