.Net security and mixed assemblies

I have a series of assemblies which used to be unmanaged code and have now
had the /clr switch thrown on them to create managed code, but using win32
types etc rather than Safe CLR code.

How much of the .Net security facilities can be applied to this code?

Thanks

depends, i think.
what you should be able to do is to set security attributes of exported
functions, so that your functions are allowed only the minimal security
attributes that you determine they need.

this way you can at least prevent abuse of your code, without having to
modify the code at all.

kind regards,
Bruno.
