Compare if assembly1 and assembly are the same exception for their signature.
This is done by comparing the hash of the metadata of both assembly.
.TP
-.I "-k keypair.snk"
-Create a new strongname keypair (a 1024 bits RSA keypair) in the specified
-file.
+.I "-k [size] keypair.snk"
+Create a new strongname keypair in the specified file. The default key
+length is 1024 bits and MUST ALWAYS be used when signing 1.x assemblies.
+Any value from 384 to 16384 bits (in increments of 8 bits) is a valid key
+length to sign 2.x assemblies. To ensure maximum compatibility you may
+want to continue using 1024 bits keys. Note that there's no good reason,
+even if it's possible, to use length lesser than 1024 bits.
.TP
.I "-R assembly keypair.snk"
Resign the specified assembly using the specified strongname keypair file
