true if keys need to be derived from the token's key; otherwise, false. The default is true.
Remarks
WCF needs to derive keys from the token's key when performing signature and encryption using the token.
Derived keys originate in Secure Conversations where there is a shared security context so that the same security can be applied across all messages in the conversation. A security context token involves a shared secret, which is used for message signing and encryption. The shared secret is used to create derived keys. To maintain a high level of security through a lengthy conversation, new derived keys can be created periodically.
