.net - what happens to exe when we sign it? -

After signing the exe using VeriSign, we see the "digital signature" tab if we click on XE Which gives information about the certificate. Where exactly will this information be stored? I mean how the operating system will know which file is related to? Is there anything while embedded in the exe on the signature?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: I have solved the problem, although I can not seem to know that in fact the certificate related to the assembly collection we can make X509Certificate Object by passing the assembly path. My task was to get the serial number and the owner had the following code I wrote for it.

  X509 certificate proof = X509 certificate. CreateFolasled Files ("Solo4Orchestra.exe"); MessageBox.Show (cert.Subject.Split (new four [1] {','}) [3]. Change ("he =", "")); MessageBox.Show (cert.GetSerialNumberString ());  

thanks Akie

Can give you some information in binary format is.

Windows API, for signature checks. It may be a .NET API for this, but apparently not: a related MSDN article that uses the Windows API call with sample code to get the revocation list seems like: (This is a May be a good starting point because it applies the wrapper for that function).
