+## Handling Multiple IdP Certificates
 
-In order to handle that Ruby SAML offers the `idp_cert_multi` parameter.
-When used, `idp_cert` and `idp_cert_fingerprint` values are ignored.
+If the IdP metadata XML includes multiple certificates, you may specify the `idp_cert_multi`
+parameter. When used, the `idp_cert` and `idp_cert_fingerprint` parameters are ignored.
+This is useful in the following scenarios:
 
-The `idp_cert_multi` must be a Hash as follows:
+* The IdP uses different certificates for signing versus encryption.
+* The IdP is undergoing a key rollover and is publishing the old and new certificates in parallel.

+The `idp_cert_multi` must be a `Hash` as follows. The `:signing` and `:encryption` arrays below,
+add the IdP X.509 public certificates which were published in the IdP metadata.
