SignToolHelper

Contains a task to sign assemblies using the SignTool.

Certificates

The SignTool needs a certificate to sign assemblies. It is not a good idea to include a certficate in your source control system, but the sign step should be usable on developer machines. Because of this, you can specify a dev certificate that can safely included in your source control system. Whenever the real certificate can not be found, the dev certificate will be used.
