Kirill,

<div class="">You probably don’t need to generate new encryption keys unless you have a use case where the IdP will be receiving inbound encrypted messages. It’s rare.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The only other recommendation is that you keep your keys in version control along with your configuration files, with appropriately strong boundaries between your environments.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Other than that, I think you have the process right. In particular, you wouldn’t want to designate a key as signing-only if you do intend to use encryption, and you wouldn’t make new encryption keys if you’re just signing.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Take care,</div>
<div class="">Nate.</div>

2. Then they put the public keys to <KeyDescriptor use="signing" /> and <KeyDescriptor use="signing" /> elements of metadata and give this updated metadata to SP.</div>
