No, there are only <ds:X509Data> and <ds:X509Certificate> elements. Does that mean that the trust engine does only following steps in this case?
- extract <ds:X509Certificate> from response signature (a.k.a. IdP "Credential")
- extract entityID in <issuer> from response and fetch the <EntityDescriptor> addressed by it from metadata. It contains a <X509Certificate> element (a.k.a. "verification key")
- compare both <X509Certificate> elements
