[nitpick] Consider refining the description to use more formal language, e.g., replace 'utils classes' with 'utility classes' and 'saml stuff' with 'SAML functionalities' for clarity.

Suggested change
* This package contains some utils classes for encryption, XML and some saml stuff
* This package contains some utility classes for encryption, XML, and SAML functionalities

Review the phrase 'do to SSO' for a likely typo; consider replacing it with 'for SSO' to improve clarity.

Suggested change
- SAML is a protocol based on XML (Security Assertion Markup Language), do to SSO (Single Sign On)
- SAML is a protocol based on XML (Security Assertion Markup Language), for SSO (Single Sign On)
