It is enough to link the app with the referenced assembly has been delay
signed with the public key. The purpose of delay signing is that you can
develop and write your code with only the public key in the referenced
assembly. As long as the referenced assembly has the public key token in it
you can link to it with other assemblies. If you look in the manifest of the
assemblies that have references to it you will see that they use a token to
the public key, not the private key. However, since the referenced assembly
does not have the cryptographic signature necessary for verification to
succeed you will need to configure your development/test machines to skip
verification of that assembly. See the docs for sn.exe for the command line
switches.
