You don't have to understand it in depth to follow the profile, which
tells you exactly what to put in, and exactly what to check.
The purpose of subject confirmation is to limit or control who can present
an assertion to authenticate to something as the subject, or under what
conditions.
Without subject confirmation, assertions are just data. They don't have
security relevance in application protocols without subject confirmation.
