A digital signature is a way to verify the identity of a person or entity who originates an electronic document and ensure that the message has not been altered. Digital signatures are used in both SAML (including STS tokens) and WS-Federation electronic documents.
Handling a digital signature involves message signing, signature and certificate validation, and signing-policy coordination between connection partners.
