PublisherIdentityPermissionAttribute Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Security.Permissions

Assembly:

System.Security.Permissions.dll

Caution

Code Access Security is not supported or honored by the runtime.

Allows security actions for PublisherIdentityPermission to be applied to code using declarative security. This class cannot be inherited.

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.

The scope of the declaration that is allowed depends on the SecurityAction that is used.

The properties CertFile, SignedFile, and X509Certificate are mutually exclusive.

The security information declared by a security attribute is stored in the metadata of the attribute target and is accessed by the system at run time. Security attributes are used only for declarative security. For imperative security, use the corresponding permission class.

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. Starting with the .NET Framework version 2.0, identity permissions can have any permission state value. This means that in 2.0 and later versions, identity permissions have the same behavior as permissions that implement the IUnrestrictedPermission interface.

Note

By default, code access security 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 code access security. For more information about how to configure this option and which applications can use it, see the <generatePublisherEvidence> element.

Constructors

PublisherIdentityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction)

Initializes a new instance of the PublisherIdentityPermissionAttribute class with the specified SecurityAction.

Properties

Action	Gets or sets a security action. (Inherited from SecurityAttribute)
CertFile	Gets or sets a certification file containing an Authenticode X.509v3 certificate.
SignedFile	Gets or sets a signed file from which to extract an Authenticode X.509v3 certificate.
TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute)
Unrestricted	Gets or sets a value indicating whether full (unrestricted) permission to the resource protected by the attribute is declared. (Inherited from SecurityAttribute)
X509Certificate	Gets or sets an Authenticode X.509v3 certificate that identifies the publisher of the calling code.

Methods

CreatePermission()	Creates and returns a new instance of PublisherIdentityPermission.
Equals(Object)	Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute)
GetHashCode()	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
IsDefaultAttribute()	When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute)
Match(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
