Property Value
The string which contains the authentication portion of the specified PeerName. For secured peer names, this property contains the public key as a forty-character hexadecimal string. For unsecured peer names, this property is set to zero (0).
Remarks
Only the owner, or peer host, can register a secured peer name. A peer name is considered secured if it is backed by a self-signed certificate.
Peer names are case-sensitive and the format of a peer name is: Authority.Classifier. For example, "0.MyPeerName" is a well-formed peer name.

Using a secured peer name does not ensure the overall security of the networking application. Security of the application is implementation-dependent.
