Delay signing allows you to place a shared assembly in
the GAC by signing the assembly with just the public
key. This allows the assembly to be signed with the
private key at a later stage, when the development
process is complete and the component or assembly
is ready to be deployed. This process enables
developers to work with shared assemblies as if they
were strongly named, and it secures the private key of the signature from being accessed at different stages of development.
