Level of Assurance contracts

A Level of Assurance (LoA) contract is a set of mappings between the levels of assurance as defined in the ID method's documentation (or protocol specifications) and some relative values (levels 1, 2, 2+, 3 and 4).

For example, for SAML, urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:PasswordProtectedTransport is mapped to level 2.
