Description
This document specifies methods of representing assurance information as used in two aspects of SAML. It profiles the use of SAML's Authentication Context mechanisms to express per-authentication assurance information via authentication requests and assertions. Level-of-Assurance (LOA) definitions in Identity Assurance Frameworks are expressed as a set of authentication context classes. The document also specifies a means for representing assurance certification status of entities in SAML metadata.
