Subject: Proposed text for PE15 (was RE: [security-services] Errata docume ntV02)
As a proposed fix for PE15, I suggest we remove lines 1392-1410 of CS-00 (sections 5.3.1 Rationale, and 5.3.2 Rules for SAML Signature Inheritance) and replace with: --------------------- SAML Assertions may be embedded within Request or Response elements, which may be signed. When a SAML assertion does not contain a ds:Signature element, but is contained in a samlp:Request or samlp:Response element that contains a ds:Signature, and the signature applies to the saml:Assertion element and all its children, then the Assertion can be considered to inherit the signature from the enclosing element. The resulting interpretation should be equivalent to the case where the Assertion itself was signed with the same key and signature options. Many SAML use cases involve SAML XML data enclosed within other protected data structures such as signed SOAP messages, S/MIME packages, and authenticated SSL connections. SAML Profiles may define additional rules for interpreting SAML elements as inheriting signatures or other authentication information from the surrounding context, but no such inheritance should be inferred unless specifically identified by the Profile. ---------------------- - irving - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message is confidential and is intended for the addressee(s) only.
