Security is an essential part of working with controls. You must maintain a secure environment to retain the user’s trust. It’s important to realize that security is problematic—that you can’t rely on security to remain stable or even constant. Someone is going to find a way through your security mea-sures, so you must couple good programming techniques with constant vigilance.

A digital certificate is a series of numbers forming an identity that acts as a key to lock and unlock files, identify a particular individual or company, and perform other cryptographic tasks. It’s more secure than the public/private key combination generated by the Strong Name utility (SN.EXE).
