This might be a simply question but I'm new to some of this...

I have a sln which when built creates 4 DLLs and automatically
generate associated Interop DLLs. The 4 Dlls will need to be signed
by the person here that has the private key for our company. But do
Interop DLLs need to be signed also? And why?

Thanks

Strong-named assemblies may only reference other strong-named
assemblies, so if your code depends on these interop assemblies, they
have to be signed too.
