The so-called blob for the public key of the software publisher defining the strong name.

A blob is cryptographic information that uniquely specifies the public key of the software publisher.

[Visual Basic]
Public ReadOnly Property PublicKey As StrongNamePublicKeyBlob
[C#]
public StrongNamePublicKeyBlob PublicKey {get;}
[C++]
public: __property StrongNamePublicKeyBlob* get_PublicKey();
[JScript]
public function get PublicKey() : StrongNamePublicKeyBlob;

Property Value

The so-called blob for the public key of the software publisher defining the strong name.

Remarks

Blobs differ from certificates in that the blob only has information about the public key, where in contrast the certificate also includes information that associates a name of the holder with the key in addition to information to substanciate trust in certificate itself.
