Remarks

This is an assembly-level attribute that is used to expose the internal types and members to another assembly. This makes everything that might have been flagged as "internal" visible as a public member to the assembly referenced.

If you have a public key (the .pub file used to sign an assembly): use the following command to extract the Public Key):

Use this key then as the PublicKey value inside the string:
