Oasis Gives SAML 1.0 a Thumbs-Up

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the new-internet-order dept.

Anonymous Custard writes "Oasis has approved the SAML 1.0 specification. From Infoworld: 'Members of the Oasis interoperability consortium approved the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) on Wednesday as an OASIS open standard. The move paves the way for the XML-based framework to enable secure SSO (single sign-on) and other security functions for Web services transactions spanning multiple hosted sites.' I feel more secure already!"

    The W3C announces the new "CONVERT everything to XML guidebook", including new XML underwear, a revised XSLT super hero, an XML car that drives you to any XPATH, XSD-SCHEMA based twinkies, and of course still supporting the girlfriend that doesn't answer any XML-QUERIES.

  5. Make Oasis Open Source! by Lieutenant_Dan · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think it's great that Noel has decided to venture into the computer informatics field. He can leverage off the vast experience of the Open Source developer community to craft his new offering. With their sheer brilliance, the Open Source developer community can overcome most obstacles within a matter of hours.

    Only when we realize the massive potential of Open Source, can we repair the weak Gaussian Blur filters in Photoshop.
