TrustManager Class

Represents the entity that manages the trust policy for code in a .NET Framework application. The TrustManager class is the primary interface for code-based security policy. It determines whether code has the necessary permissions to execute based on its origin, publisher, and other evidence.

Overview

The TrustManager is a crucial component of the .NET Framework's security infrastructure. It acts as a gatekeeper, evaluating code and making decisions about the level of trust to grant. This involves examining various pieces of evidence associated with the code, such as:

• The URL from which the code was downloaded.
• The publisher's digital signature.
• The hash of the code itself.
• The application's configuration.

Based on this evidence and the configured security policies, the TrustManager assigns a set of permissions to the code. If the granted permissions are insufficient for an operation, a SecurityException will be thrown.
