Description

"SAML is an XML-based language for making security-related assertions about a security principal - some entity (often a human being) having an identity that can be authenticated. SAML also specifies protocols that use the language to perform tasks such as Web browser-based single sign-on (SSO) and data attribute exchange (including for the purposes of authorization)."
