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!"

  1. Passport competition? by Alethes · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Is this an open standard that will compete with Passport, or is it something that Passport will have interoperablity with? Are they even related?
