This counter displays the total number of linktime Code Access Security (CAS) checks since the start of the application. Linktime CAS checks are performed when a caller makes a call to a callee demanding a particular permission at JIT compile time; linktime check is performed once per caller. This count is not indicative of serious performance issues; its indicative of the security system activity.
