I thought there was more to it than just sending and validating.

Wait, are we sure that's all there is to it? Seems too simple.

Totally agree! Without both, SAML wouldn't function.

The SP sends assertions, and the IDP validates them. That's how SAML rolls!

From what I recall, the IDP validates the assertions, but I’m not confident about the exact process.

I feel like I might be mixing up the roles of IDP and SP. Does the SP really send assertions, or is it the other way around?

I remember practicing a question about SAML where the IDP issued tokens to the SP. I think that’s related to this.

I think the IDP is responsible for authenticating users, but I'm not entirely sure how the SP fits into that.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know RSTP has something to do with selecting a root bridge, but I can't quite remember the exact criteria. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm a bit confused by the different units used in the answer choices. Bytes versus megabytes - I'll need to double-check the conversion to make sure I pick the right one.
