Description
In order to support saml2:EncryptedAssertion, it would be great to be able to pass a private key to a method that decrypts the CipherData.
I am happy to do the work, given pointers to get me started.
Attached is an example section of XML generated by Okta.

Research direction
Start with the attached encrypted.xml.txt and trace the existing method that decrypts CipherData, focusing on how saml2:EncryptedAssertion is represented. Done means the library accepts a private key and supports the xenc:EncryptedKey and xenc:EncryptedData structures shown in the supplied Okta XML.
