The <ValueType> attribute identifies the type of the security token, for example, a Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA) token. The EncodingType indicates how the security token is encoded, for example, Base64Binary. The <BinarySecurityToken> element defines a security token that is binary encoded. The encoding is specified using the EncodingType attribute. The value type and space are specified using the ValueType attribute. The Web Services Security implementation for WebSphere® Application Server, Version 5.0.2 supports both LTPA and X.509 certificate binary security tokens.
