It's not evident to me what what part of the Shibboleth project or
software you're looking to find support for.
There's no such thing as "Shibboleth IdP Federation". There are
Shibboleth implementations of standard protocols (OASIS SAML 2.0 here,
most likely) available as Free/Libre/Open Source software. Also
there's SAML 2.0 Metadata, which you can use to build "federations",
but which really just are text (well, XML) files that contain SAML
entities (a single one, or thousands).
With SAML Metadata being just text files of course you'd be
well-advised to only ever consume those over the Internet when its
signed with a trustworthy key, but neither Shibboleth not the SAML
specification mandate this. (Also IDP Discovery Services have nothing
to do with "signing of keys and certificates".)
So you've already lost me here.

Sorry, I don't speak enough MS to understand any of that.
But a SAML IDP Discovery Service is not at all the same thing as
Proxy.
Maybe others will know what it is you're after.
