Securing an assertion and encrypting data within the assertion is a critical part of partnership configuration. The Signature step (SAML 1.1) and the Signature and Encryption step (SAML 2.0) let you configure signing and encryption of assertions.
For SAML 2.0, you have the option of choosing a signing algorithm for signing tasks. The ability to select an algorithm supports the following use cases:
Signature verification automatically detects which algorithm is in use on a signed document then verifies it. No configuration for signature verification is required.
