sn: Re-sign an assembly with the specified private key.

$ sn -R ${path-to-assembly-dll} ${path-to-key_pair-snk}

try on your machine

This command is using the sn tool, which stands for Strong Name tool. The sn tool is used in .NET framework development to create and manage strong name keys for assemblies.

The command consists of the following parts:

"sn" - This is the executable command for the Strong Name tool.
"-R" - This is a command option for sn indicating that it should re-sign the given assembly with a new strong name.
"${path-to-assembly-dll}" - This is the path to the assembly (DLL file) that needs to be re-signed. You need to replace "${path-to-assembly-dll}" with the actual file path.
"${path-to-key_pair-snk}" - This is the path to the key pair file (SNK file) that will be used to sign the assembly. You need to replace "${path-to-key_pair-snk}" with the actual key pair file path.

By running this command, the sn tool will use the provided key pair to re-sign the assembly indicated by the file path. This allows the assembly to have a strong name, which provides cryptographic integrity and can be used for certain security features in .NET, such as ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the assembly.
