Remarks

Caution

Code Access Security (CAS) has been deprecated across all versions of .NET Framework and .NET. Recent versions of .NET do not honor CAS annotations and produce errors if CAS-related APIs are used. Developers should seek alternative means of accomplishing security tasks.

Important

Starting with the .NET Framework 4, identity permissions are not used.

In the .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1, identity permissions cannot have an Unrestricted permission state value. In the .NET Framework version 2.0 and later, identity permissions can have any permission state value. This means that in version 2.0 and later versions, identity permissions have the same behavior as permissions that implement the IUnrestrictedPermission interface. That is, a demand for an identity always succeeds, regardless of the identity of the assembly, if the assembly has been granted full trust.

Use StrongNameIdentityPermission to confirm that the calling code is in a particular strong-named code assembly. Full demands for StrongNameIdentityPermission succeed only if all the assemblies in the stack have the correct evidence to satisfy the demand. Link demands that use the StrongNameIdentityPermissionAttribute attribute succeed only if the immediate caller has the correct evidence.

A strong name identity is based on a cryptographic public key called a binary large object (BLOB), which is optionally combined with the name and version of a specific assembly. The key defines a unique namespace and provides strong verification that the name is genuine, because the definition of the name must be in an assembly that is signed by the corresponding private key.

Note that the validity of the strong name key is not dependent on a trust relationship or on any certificate necessarily being issued for the key.

In the .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1, demands on the identity permissions are effective even when the calling assembly is fully trusted. That is, even if the calling assembly has full trust, a demand for an identity permission fails if the assembly does not meet the demanded criteria. In the .NET Framework version 2.0 and later, demands for identity permissions are ineffective if the calling assembly has full trust. This ensures consistency for all permissions and eliminates the treatment of identity permissions as a special case.

For a complete description of strong names, see the StrongName reference page. For more information about strong-named assemblies, see Strong-named assemblies.

The StrongNameIdentityPermission class is used to define strong-name requirements for accessing the public members of a type. The StrongNameIdentityPermissionAttribute attribute can be used to define strong-name requirements at the assembly level. In the .NET Framework version 2.0 and later, you can also use the InternalsVisibleToAttribute attribute to specify that all nonpublic types in that assembly are visible to another assembly. For more information, see Friend assemblies.

Constructors

StrongNameIdentityPermission(PermissionState)	Initializes a new instance of the StrongNameIdentityPermission class with the specified PermissionState.
StrongNameIdentityPermission(StrongNamePublicKeyBlob, String, Version)	Initializes a new instance of the StrongNameIdentityPermission class for the specified strong name identity.

Properties

Name	Gets or sets the simple name portion of the strong name identity.
PublicKey	Gets or sets the public key blob that defines the strong name identity namespace.
Version	Gets or sets the version number of the identity.

Methods

Assert()	Declares that the calling code can access the resource protected by a permission demand through the code that calls this method, even if callers higher in the stack have not been granted permission to access the resource. Using Assert() can create security issues. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission)
Copy()	Creates and returns an identical copy of the current permission.
Demand()	Forces a SecurityException at run time if all callers higher in the call stack have not been granted the permission specified by the current instance. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission)
Deny()	Obsolete. Obsolete. Prevents callers higher in the call stack from using the code that calls this method to access the resource specified by the current instance. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission)
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified CodeAccessPermission object is equal to the current CodeAccessPermission. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission)
FromXml(SecurityElement)	Reconstructs a permission with a specified state from an XML encoding.
GetHashCode()	Gets a hash code for the CodeAccessPermission object that is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures such as a hash table. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
Intersect(IPermission)	Creates and returns a permission that is the intersection of the current permission and the specified permission.
IsSubsetOf(IPermission)	Determines whether the current permission is a subset of the specified permission.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
PermitOnly()	Prevents callers higher in the call stack from using the code that calls this method to access all resources except for the resource specified by the current instance. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission)
ToString()	Creates and returns a string representation of the current permission object. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission)
ToXml()	Creates an XML encoding of the permission and its current state.
Union(IPermission)	Creates a permission that is the union of the current permission and the specified permission.
