+The packaged version of Mono.Security.dll assembly (and maybe others)
+has not been fully signed in the Mono 1.0.4 package for Windows.
+
+Mono can use this delay-signed assembly but the MS runtime won't (by
+default).
+
+A workaround is to sign the assembly yourself by:
+
+1. Downloading the strongname key pair
+
+wget http://svn.myrealbox.com/source/trunk/mcs/class/mono.snk
+
+2. Strongname the assembly
+
+sn -R Mono.Security.dll mono.snk
+
+Note: You can use Mono's or MS version of SN to do this last step.
+
+Once signed the assembly can be installed in the GAC (if required) by
+gacutil and used by the MS runtime.
