Yeah, the generated SP metadata is doing this by default, at least on
the version we have on shibboleth.net:

      <md:EncryptionMethod
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2009/xmlenc11#aes128-gcm"/>
      <md:EncryptionMethod
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2009/xmlenc11#aes192-gcm"/>
      <md:EncryptionMethod
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2009/xmlenc11#aes256-gcm"/>
      <md:EncryptionMethod
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes128-cbc"/>
      <md:EncryptionMethod
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes192-cbc"/>
      <md:EncryptionMethod
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes256-cbc"/>
      <md:EncryptionMethod
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#tripledes-cbc"/>
      <md:EncryptionMethod
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2009/xmlenc11#rsa-oaep"/>
      <md:EncryptionMethod
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#rsa-oaep-mgf1p"/>



So the IdP will attempt to do GCM if it sees peer metadata like that,
and if it detects runtime support for GCM.
