Notice that "<saml2:Assertion" is missing? There is a problem either
with encryption or decryption.

    Yes, I understand, now the problem is the EncryptedData with type Element. 
The crypted content is supposed to have a 16 bytes header. I think that it is 
interpreted as a digest, but what is digested, I don't know. Neither xmlxec nor 
the Shibboleth SP use it, any sequence of 16 bytes is accepted. Since I didn't 
add this header, the 16 first bytes of the Assertion where removed. I now add 
the 16 bytes and everything is OK. If someone has a reference that describe 
this header, I take it.

   Thanks a lot to Aleksey for his software and kindly answer.

      Claude.

     Hi,

    I am trying to write a small SAML2 IDP and have a strange problem
when
creating encrypted saml2:Assertion.
I create a saml2p:Response which contains an assertion :

<saml2:Assertion xmlns:saml2="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion"
                   IssueInstant="2012-03-13T12:02:56Z"
                   Version="2.0">
...
</saml2:Assertion>

    I crypted it with an AES key, and ebbed it inside
saml2:EncryptedAssertion and xenc:EncryptedData and everything goes
well. The problem arise wher I try to decrypt it with xmlsec1 --decrypt.
I get this :

------------------------------------
xmlsec1 --decrypt --trusted-pem kissrv64.crt --privkey kissrv64.key resp
Entity: line 80: parser error : chunk is not well balanced
</saml2:Attribute></saml2:AttributeStatement></saml2:Assertion>
                                                     ^
func=xmlSecReplaceNodeBufferAndReturn:file=xmltree.c:line=573:obj=unknown:subj=xmlParseInNodeContext:error=5:libxml2

library function failed:Failed to parse content
func=xmlSecEncCtxDecrypt:file=xmlenc.c:line=648:obj=unknown:subj=xmlSecReplaceNodeBuffer:error=1:xmlsec

library function failed:node=EncryptedData
Error: failed to decrypt file
Error: failed to decrypt file "resp"
-----------------------------------

    This is strange since my assertion is well balanced. If I remove the
closing tag of the assertion, making it invalid XML, the decrypting
works but produce an invalid result : no saml2:Assertion inside.

     I then tried to insert a prefix to the assertion :

<saml2:Assertion<saml2:Assertion
xmlns:saml2="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion"
                   IssueInstant="2012-03-13T12:02:56Z"
                   Version="2.0">
...
</saml2:Assertion>

     Yes, perfect non sense but dectypting works and seems correct, but
when feeding it to a Shibboleth SP, it chokes with "Decryption did not
result in a single element."


      I am lost, if anyone has a an advice ready for this case, I'll
take it.

        Claude.
