Assembly key file.

[chis2k]

I'm a little confused on what an assembly key file (*.snk) does for your
project when you incorporate it. Does it help protect it somehow?

thx,

It is a cryptographic key file that you can use to sign your assemblies. It
doesn't really help protect the assembly but it does allow you to place
assemblies into the GAC as well as provides a level of trust in applications
that use the assembly.
