Well the Help file says this:
A strong name consists of an assembly's identity—its simple text name, version number, and culture information (when provided)—plus a public key and digital signature. It is generated from an assembly file using the corresponding private key. The assembly file contains the assembly manifest that includes the names and hashes of all the files that make up the assembly.
So, what are the benefits of creating strong name assemblies?
First you can be assured that a name is globally unique. According to the MSDN website, strong names satisfy the following requirements:
Strong names guarantee name uniqueness by relying on unique key pairs. No one can generate the same assembly name that you can, because an assembly generated with one private key has a different name than an assembly generated with another private key.
Strong names protect the version lineage of an assembly. A strong name can ensure that no one can produce a subsequent version of your assembly. Users can be sure that a version of the assembly they are loading comes from the same publisher that created the version the application was built with.
Strong names provide a strong integrity check. Passing the .NET Framework security checks guarantees that the contents of the assembly have not been changed since it was built.

OK, great. PB does .NET. Well How? with all due respect to Sybase, there aren't any books to help you with the transition. I learned C# but now what? How can I use PB to do .NET. I don't know. The help files assume I know things and I don't. Do this to the server do that to the do dah. Are there any books out there or is PB really a dead tool?
I have a program I wrote in PB and fly all over the country to install.. so - no, pb is not dead.
That said, I am working thru the .Net tutorials. Displaying a datawindow - Dead Easy!
Any thing else, nope - not working.
Training Material. We need much more training material. Desperately!!!

Ability to generate strong-named assemblies for any of the four .NET targets (Web Forms, Windows Forms, .NET Web Services or .NET Assemblies) is a strong feature of Powerbuilder 11.5 Guarantee name uniqueness is always required. you outlined good FAQs and answered them as well.
