Detailed Description

A metadata filter is used to process metadata after resolution and unmarshalling.

Some filters might remove everything but identity provider roles, decreasing the data a service provider needs to work with, or a filter could be used to perform integrity checking on the retrieved metadata by verifying a digital signature.
