• SimplePatchToolSecurity: contains functions to sign/verify XML files and generate RSA key pair. This module requires additional NuGet package(s) for .NET Standard 2.0 compatibility
• SelfPatcherCore: core module for self patcher executables

SimplePatchToolExtras.sln consists of some additional projects that can be found here. These projects use the libraries generated by the SimplePatchTool solution.
