When the RP receives an assertion that is associated with a bound authenticator, the subscriber proves possession of the bound authenticator directly to the RP. The primary authentication at the IdP and the federated authentication at the RP are processed separately. While the subscriber could use the same authenticator during the primary authentication at the IdP as the bound authenticator at the RP, there is no assumption that these will be the same.
The following requirements apply to all assertions that are associated with a bound authenticator:
1. The subscriber SHALL prove possession of the bound authenticator to the RP in addition to presenting the assertion itself.
