Introduction This document is intended for a technical audience consisting of developers, administrators and those requiring detailed technical information on how to configure, build and deploy the eIDAS-Node application. This document describes the W3C recommendations and how SAML XML encryption is implemented and integrated in eID. Encryption of the sensitive data carried in SAML 2.0 Requests and Assertions is discussed alongside the use of AEAD algorithms as essential building blocks. 1.1. Document aims The aim of this document is to describe how the eIDAS-Node implements SAML. 1.2. Document structure This document is divided into the following sections: Chapter 1 − Introduction this section. Chapter 2 − SAML Overview provides an overview of SAML
