The PublisherIdentityPermission class represents the System.Security.Policy.Publisher evidence that an assembly or application domain presented to the runtime. The PublisherIdentityPermission class enables code to invoke imperative security statements based on the publisher certificate used to sign an assembly. For example, code can use the PublisherIdentityPermission class to ensure that only code signed by their company or a trusted third party can call the methods of their classes.

The PublisherIdentityPermission class provides a constructor that takes a System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate object containing an X509 certificate, which represents the publisher that signed an assembly. The X509Certificate object can be manipulated after construction through the Certificate property.
