Abstract

 The SAML V2.0 Metadata specification [SAML2Meta] includes an element allowing entities to describe the XML Encryption [XMLEnc] algorithms they support. This specification defines metadata extension elements to enable entities to describe the XML Signature [XMLSig] algorithms they support, and a profile for using both elements to enable better algorithm agility for profiles that rely on metadata.

Thank you for your request. We will schedule the QC review shortly. You can follow the progress at:
