> This task involves creating Principals when processing SAML and BinarySecurityTokens. WSS4J currently creates principal objects when processing UsernameTokens, and also when using a token to verify a signature. The following rules will apply for principal creation:
> 1) A SAMLTokenPrincipal will be created by the SAMLTokenProcessor on a successful validation of a SAML Assertion.
> 2) A WSUsernameTokenPrincipal will be created by the UsernameTokenProcessor on a successful validation of a Username Token (current behaviour).
> 3) A X500Principal will be created by the BinarySecurityTokenProcessor on a successful validation of a BinarySecurityToken.
> Two important points to note are:
> 1) Principals will only be created if the token has been explicitly validated. So for the BinarySecurityToken case, it is not validated by default and no principal is created. 
> 2) If the token is transformed into a SAML Assertion by the validator, then a new principal is created and stored in the results set under WSSecurityEngineResult.TAG_PRINCIPAL. In other words, it replaces the principal that would have been created from the original token before it was transformed.
