Remarks

In the claims model multiple users or claims-based identities can be party to a single action. The IClaimsPrincipal interface defines the data and behavior of the identities associated with an execution context.

IClaimsPrincipal exposes a collection of identities, each of which implements IClaimsIdentity. In a common case, there will be a single issuer and a single token and the identities collection will only have one element. However, it’s possible in advanced scenarios for a relying party to ask (via policy) for more than one security token, potentially from different issuers.
