The Evidence class is a specialized collection used to contain evidence objects. The Evidence class actually contains two sets of evidence objects: a collection of host evidence and a collection of assembly evidence. Host evidence is the primary type of evidence used as input by the runtime to drive security policy resolution. The runtime, or possibly a trusted host, specifies the host evidence. Host evidence is added to the Evidence collection using the AddHost( ) method and accessed through the GetHostEnumerator( ) method.

Assembly evidence is normally specified at build time by the assembly developer and embedded in the assembly file as a serialized resource. ...
