Thanks Nandana for the reply!

OK I understand it like this: On clientside, when I recieve the token, I set 
the private key of the client as secret.
But what must I set on the STS-side as secret for the token? There I have also 
the token before I send it to the client. Must I set there also a secret?

I have following problem when authenticating with the token at a normal service:

After I get the token from the STS, I put the token on the clientside into the 
security header for the next service call to authenticate but on the serverside 
I get the problem that the signature verification fails.  

Greetings
Chris
