Assertions SHALL use audience restriction techniques to allow an RP to recognize whether it is the intended target of an issued assertion. All RPs SHALL check that the audience of an assertion contains an identifier for their RP to prevent the assertion injection and replay of an assertion generated for one RP at another RP.

In order to limit the places that an assertion could successfully be replayed by an attacker, IdPs SHOULD issue assertions that are designated for only a single audience. Restriction to a single audience is required at FAL2 and above.
