PublisherMembershipCondition Class

Definition

Determines whether an assembly belongs to a code group by testing its software publisher's Authenticode X.509v3 certificate. This class cannot be inherited.

Remarks

A code assembly satisfies a publisher membership condition if that code is signed by the specified software publisher.

By default, code access security (CAS) does not check for Publisher evidence. Unless your computer has a custom code group based on the PublisherMembershipCondition class, you can improve performance by bypassing Authenticode signature verification. This is accomplished by configuring the runtime to not provide Publisher evidence for CAS. For more information about how to configure this option and which applications can use it, see the <generatePublisherEvidence> element.

Constructors

PublisherMembershipCondition(X509Certificate)

Initializes a new instance of the PublisherMembershipCondition class with the Authenticode X.509v3 certificate that determines membership.

Properties

Certificate

Gets or sets the Authenticode X.509v3 certificate for which the membership condition tests.

Methods

Check(Evidence)

Determines whether the specified evidence satisfies the membership condition.

Copy()

Creates an equivalent copy of the membership condition.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the publisher certificate from the specified object is equivalent to the publisher certificate contained in the current PublisherMembershipCondition.

FromXml(SecurityElement)

Reconstructs a security object with a specified state from an XML encoding.

FromXml(SecurityElement, PolicyLevel)

Reconstructs a security object with a specified state from an XML encoding.

GetHashCode()

Gets the hash code for the current membership condition.

GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
ToString()

Creates and returns a string representation of the PublisherMembershipCondition.

ToXml()

Creates an XML encoding of the security object and its current state.

ToXml(PolicyLevel)

Creates an XML encoding of the security object and its current state with the specified PolicyLevel.
