SAML: History, Applications, Art & Standards

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML, pronounced SAM-el, /ˈsæməl/) is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. SAML is an XML-based markup language for security assertions (statements that service providers use to make access-control…
