Conflict between SAML 2.0 token profile and WS-Trust
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IMI-26
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/IMI-26
             Project: OASIS Identity Metasystem Interoperability (IMI) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Michael Jones
            Priority: Minor


The SAML 2.0 token profile currently says:
If a token request does not include a <wst:KeyType> element, the Identity Provider SHOULD assume that an asymmetric proof key is required.

This is contrary to the WS-Trust spec, Section 9.2 (Key and Encryption Requirements) which says that in the absence of a <KeyType> element, the key type should default to a symmetric key.
