DESCRIPTION
    Support for the Web Browser SSO profile of SAML2.

    Net::SAML2 correctly perform the SSO process against numerous SAML
    Identity Providers (IdPs). It has been tested against:

    Version 0.54 and newer support EncryptedAssertions. No changes required
    to existing SP applications if EncryptedAssertions are not in use.
