Remarks

When a SOAP message sender is requesting a security token from a security token service, the service may accept security token requests containing an <Entropy> XML element. The <Entropy> XML element specifies a value, known as the entropy value, that is used to create the key associated with the security token. The entropy value can be encrypted. When it is encrypted, it is contained within an <EncryptedKey> element, which is represented by the EncryptedKey property; otherwise the value is placed in an <BinarySecret> child element, which is represented by the BinarySecret property. When the entropy value is placed in a <BinarySecret> child element, the transport or channel used to make the security token request SHOULD be encrypted.
