SAML 2.0 Protocol Extension for Requested Authentication Context

Defines a protocol extension to SAML 2.0 specification Error: Reference source not found that facilitates a more flexible model for expressing Authentication Context than that currently supported. The extension allows service providers to express combinations of Authentication Context classes in their requests for authentication assertions. The expectation is that the extension, when its additional functionality was necessary, would be used in replacement of the existing Authentication Context mechanisms in the authentication request message. Readers should be familiar with Error: Reference source not found before reading this document.
