public class AuthnContext
extends AuthnContextType
implements AuthnContext

The AuthnContext element may be used to indicate to a replying party receiving an AuthenticationStatement that a SAML authority may be available to provide additional information about the subject of the statement. A single SAML authority may advertise its presence over multiple protocol binding, at multiple locations, and as more than one kind of authority by sending multiple elements as needed.
