sn: Show the public key of the private key that was used to sign an assembly.

$ sn -T ${path-to-assembly-exe}

try on your machine

The command sn -T ${path-to-assembly-exe} is using the sn tool with the -T option to obtain the token of a .NET assembly executable.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

sn: sn stands for Strong Name, which is a tool used by .NET developers to manage strong name keys, digital signatures, and cryptographic operations.
-T: The -T option is used to display the token of a specified assembly.
${path-to-assembly-exe}: This is a placeholder representing the actual path to the assembly executable file.

By running this command with the path to an assembly executable file, the command will retrieve and display the assembly's token. The token is a unique identifier assigned to an assembly that is used to ensure its integrity, security, and versioning when it is being referenced by other assemblies or during runtime.
