Default IdP tokens are issued with a NoProofKey as KeyType so there is no
information about who belongs the modulus and exponent that compound the RSA
public key. I don't know, from this token, how to infer the level of
assurance of the issuer...

How should I build the whitelist according to this?

Thanks,
