    An associate claims windows applications developed with the
    .NET Framework are totally insecure with regard to maintaining
    digital asset ownership.

    His claim is based on an assertion that he can use ILDASM
    on a dll or an exe to expose the owner of the application,
    including the security certificate which can then be cut out and
    replaced with other credentials and re-assembled thereby
    making the application 'theirs.'

    How sound is his assertion?
    Comment on why or why not please.
