SymmetricProofDescriptor Constructor

[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.]

Overload List

Name Description
SymmetricProofDescriptor (EncryptingCredentials) Use this constructor if you want the sts to use the given EncryptingCredentials.
SymmetricProofDescriptor (Byte[], EncryptingCredentials) Use this constructor if you want the sts to use the given key bytes. This happens when client sends the entropy, and the sts would just use that as the key for the issued token
SymmetricProofDescriptor (Int32, EncryptingCredentials) Use this constructor if you want the STS to autogenerate the key using a random number generator and send it in the proof token as a binary secret.
SymmetricProofDescriptor (Int32, EncryptingCredentials, EncryptingCredentials) Use this constructor if you want the STS to autogenerate the key and send it in the proof token as encrypted key. Two cases are covered here: 1. The client sends the entropy, but the server rejects it. 2. The client does not send the entropy, so use the server's entropy.
SymmetricProofDescriptor (Int32, EncryptingCredentials, EncryptingCredentials, Byte[]) Use this constructor if you want to send a combined entropy.
SymmetricProofDescriptor (Int32, EncryptingCredentials, EncryptingCredentials, Byte[], String) Use this constructor to send combined entropy.
SymmetricProofDescriptor (Int32, EncryptingCredentials, EncryptingCredentials, String) Use this constructor to have the STS autogenerate a key and send it in the proof token as encrypted key. Two cases are covered here 1. client sends the entropy, but server rejects it 2. client did not send a entropy, so just use server's entropy
