Remarks
Tokens can also contain a logical issuer, which may be different than the signer of the token.IssuingAuthority represents a collection of keys and issuers that are consider valid.
An IssuingAuthority can be used during the process of validating a token to determine that the Service that signed the token and the issuer are as expected.
The ValidatingIssuerNameRegistry and IssuingAuthority can be used together as part of a token validation sequence.
