What is SAML?

SAML is the Security Assertion Markup Language.

SAML is a derivative of XML which is designed for the exchange of authentication and authorization data.

The purpose of SAML is to enable Single Sign-On for web applications.

SAML utilizes TLS to ensure the confidentiality of authentication and authorization data during transit.
