[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.]

Remarks

This optional element enables the client to request the identity provider to issue a token containing its public key which is specified under the wst:UseKey element. However, the client has to prove possession of the key. In a WS-Security-based SOAP message, the client can add its certificate as an endorsing token to the Security header to prove possession of the key.

For more information about the element that this class represents, see the version of the WS-Trust specification that applies to your scenario. You can find links to the WS-Trust specifications and other WS-* specifications relevant to WIF in the Windows Identity Foundation SDK topic.
