You don't need source to sign an assembly.  Assuming it's pure IL 
at least (which should always be true for C# code) it's trivial to 
re-sign an assembly:

md temp
ildasm /output=temp\AssemblyName.il AssemblyName.dll
ilasm /output=SignedAssemblyName.dll temp\AssemblyName.il 
/keyfile=Key.snk /resource=temp\AssemblyName.res

ildasm is in the .NET SDK (separate download or with Visual 
Studio).
ilasm is in the framework runtime folder (under 
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework).

If you want to sign it with a .pfx file instead of an .snk, then 
first sign it with *any* .snk as above, then do this:

sn -i KeyFile.pfx TempSign
sn -Rca SignedAssemblyName.dll TempSign
