Answer / shyam
A strong name is a reliable .NET assembly identifier,
comprised of the assembly’s simple text name, version
number, culture, public key and a digital signature. The
latter two are generated with the strong name (sn) tool,

usually specified in the AssemblyInfo source file.

Answer / rajani
A strong name is a .NET assembly name combined with its
version number and other information to uniquely identify
the assembly. This allows multiple versions of the same
assembly to peacefully co-exist in the global assembly
cache, where shared assemblies are typically stored.

Answer / sivakrishna.ambati
A strong name consists of the assembly's identity—its simple text name, version number, and culture information (if provided)—plus a public key and a digital signature. It is generated from an assembly file (the file that contains the assembly manifest, which in turn contains the names and hashes of all the files that make up the assembly), using the corresponding private key.
