SAML 2.0
Overview
SAML stands for Security Assertion Markup Language. It is an XML-based open-standard data format and a set of conventions for exchanging authentication and authorization information between heterogenous parties, designated by the standard as Identity Provider (IdP) and Service Provider (SP). The parties exchange security assertions in a vendor-independent manager.
SAML is an OASIS approved standard. SAML 2.0 specification was released in March 2005.
The most important use case for SAML is web browser single sign-on (SSO) between independent but cooperating parties.
