For the most part, versioning info about the application. Such as, you can specify that this is version 1.38.8.103

Also, information like the author's name, date of creation, blah blah blah

Strong Names are necessary when you want to add a DLL you created to the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) to be used by any application.
