Public key is generally used to partially signing (delay) the assembly when development is going on and Private key is used to the when assembly is ready ship. If a user replace  an unsigned assembly on signed assembly application won't work.

Hi vinodkpasi,

According to your needs, as far as i know, delayed signing is the terminology when we are certifying the assembly which will prevent hi-jacking of that assembly. 

Delayed signing refers to a technique of partially signing assemblies while they are in development phase. So, signing an assembly basically certifies that assembly by the manufacturer and prevents tampering and hi-jacking of that assembly. This is achievable by using public key/private key encoding of parts of the assembly.
