SAML response and assertion is signed/unsigned?

Question

I have deployed and run spring saml sample successfully. From SAML Response (IdP -> SP) shown below, can it be identified whether:

1. the SAML response is signed or unsigned?
2. the assertion is encrypted or not? (I guess it's encrypted)
3. the assertion is signed or unsigned?

    </samlp:Response>

From debug log of my SP server, right after the above SAML response is parsed, below is seen. This makes me confused whether the message and/or assertion has not been signed.

- Evaluating security policy of type 'org.opensaml.ws.security.provider.BasicSecurityPolicy' for decoded message
- Evaluating simple signature rule of type: org.opensaml.saml2.binding.security.SAML2HTTPPostSimpleSignRule
- HTTP request was not signed via simple signature mechanism, skipping
- SAML protocol message was not signed, skipping XML signature processing
- Successfully decoded message.

Answer 1

1. SAML Response is NOT signed.
2. SAML Assertion is encrypted. (you can see "EncryptedAssertion")
3. SAML Assertion is NOT signed.

Try setting WantAssertionsSigned="true" in your SP metadata, exchange with IdP and check whether you receive signed SAML Response or not.
