Hi Johnny;

In the case of Information cards with SAML token type, we encrypt the
SAML assertions, so -  at the RP end it will receive an encrypted
"xmlToken".

But, I've being testing with an OpenID Information card, downloaded
from https://openidcards.sxip.com/TokenService/ - and it seems this
has not encrypted the 'xmlToken' - that is I received the 'xmlToken'
in clear text.

Can you please explain a bit on this.. or is this just for the testing purpose?

Thanks & regards.
