reading private key from a file(.pem) and sign SAML Assertion
Hi,
I am
working on SAML assertion. I have a private key abc.pem. I want to read
this file and sign the assertion. The code I found on the internet is

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.
