[Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) has been fully integrated into the .NET Framework. The version of WIF addressed by this topic, WIF 3.5, is deprecated and should only be used when developing against the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or the .NET Framework 4. For more information about WIF in the .NET Framework 4.5, also known as WIF 4.5, see the Windows Identity Foundation documentation in the .NET Framework 4.5 Development Guide.]

A pseudo-token which handles encryption for a token which does not natively support it.

Namespace: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens
Assembly: Microsoft.IdentityModel (in Microsoft.IdentityModel.dll)

Usage

'Usage
Dim instance As EncryptedSecurityToken

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class EncryptedSecurityToken
    Inherits SecurityToken

public class EncryptedSecurityToken : SecurityToken

public ref class EncryptedSecurityToken : public SecurityToken

public class EncryptedSecurityToken extends SecurityToken

public class EncryptedSecurityToken extends SecurityToken

Remarks

For example, a SamlSecurityToken has no notion of how to encrypt itself, so to issue an encrypted SAML11 assertion, wrap a SamlSecurityToken with an EncryptedSecurityToken and provide appropriate EncryptingCredentials.
