Answer
Strong naming gives a unique identity but not security.
Authenticode signing verifies publisher identity.
Assembly identity affects binding and version resolution.
Quick Answer
Strong naming gives an assembly a unique identity via a public/private key pair — prevents two assemblies with the same name from conflicting. It does not verify the publisher's identity. Authenticode signing (via a certificate) proves who published the assembly. Both can coexist on the same assembly.
