KeyInfoConfirmationData

All Known Implementing Classes:

KeyInfoConfirmationDataImpl, SubjectConfirmationDataImpl
```
public interface SubjectConfirmationData
```
The SubjectConfirmationData specifies additional data that allows the subject to be confirmed or constrains the circumstances under which the act of subject confirmation can take place. Subject confirmation takes place when a relying party seeks to verify the relationship between an entity presenting the assertion and the subject of the assertion's claims.
