Yet the simplicity of the library is what makes it so compelling. It
works nicely with the saml2api's login servlet (although it uses a
slightly older version of the utility library) to provide a very
simple to use library when all one needs to do is to delegate
authentication to an IdP for some SP.

I don't think it will be to hard to implement what i need. I basically
need to initialise a key with my private certificate from the
environment, add a getEncryptedAssertion method that provides an
EncryptedAssertion class, providing a decrypt() method. My assumption
is then that the decrypted content is simply an xml fragment that
needs to be parsed to be used similar to the normal unencrypted
assertion.
