reading private key from a file(.pem) and sign SAML Assertion

Upcoming SSTC work items

The SSTC's "call for profiling intentions" netted some good information. We've collected it on our working wiki and will keep that CfPI2008 page updated - in fact, we've already seen several of the promised draft documents, so things are hopping in the TC.

If you know of other third-party work that will benefit from SSTC review, or are an SSTC member and plan to submit a profile or extension for consideration, please let me know.
