Hi BarberColman,

As far as I know, only.Net applications(such as WinForm developed in C#,VB) has such an option, native applications(such as program developed with MFC, win32) has no direct support for sign, so such projects do not have a security tab.
The C++ project and Setup Project are both native applications, they do not need .Net framework to run, so you cannot find a security tab on the properties of them.

You can take a look at this blog about CLR and .Net security.

You need to look under the project properties.

If you are using C#, double-click on the Properties entry under your main project.

If you are using VB, double-click on My Project.

You should see the Security tab there.

It is a C++ project. I the solution explorer I have two projects that produce exe and a seup and deploy project. None of the projects have a properties entry. If i right click all of them has a propeties menu. On all three of the project I can get to a property pages but all of them are limited to common properties and configuration properties. Can not find a secuity property. Tied control page up / down as directed in another post nada!
