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

Visual Basic 
Dim instance As EncryptedSecurityToken

Syntax

Visual Basic 
Public Class EncryptedSecurityToken
		Inherits SecurityToken
C# 
public class EncryptedSecurityToken : SecurityToken
C++ 
public ref class EncryptedSecurityToken : public SecurityToken
J# 
public class EncryptedSecurityToken extends SecurityToken
JScript 
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.
