SAML V2.0 Holder-of-Key Assertion Profile

Summary: The SAML V2.0 Holder-of-Key Assertion Profile describes the issuing and processing of holder-of-key SAML assertions. Specifically, we show how a SAML issuer binds X.509 data to a <ds:KeyInfo> element and how a relying party confirms that a <ds:KeyInfo> element matches given X.509 data. The binding material used by the SAML issuer and the matching data used by the relying party are obtained from an X.509 certificate.
