Two possible options:

  1. Ask the thirdparty provider to give you their assembly signed
  2. If option 1 is not possible, you can download this tool called Signer which will allow you to sign a assembly after its been compiled with a key.  All you need to do is generate a key (sn -k myKey.key) and use the Signer command “signer -k myKey.key -output Directory -a assembly.dll
