SAML Gains Steam
John Fontana, Network World

An XML protocol that appears on its way to becoming a key building
block for standards-based security picked up momentum last week as
vendors introduced products and vowed to provide free access to their
patents to advance the cause.  The efforts are in support of the
Security Assertions Markup Language (SAML), a framework for
exchanging authentication and authorization credentials over the Web,
which promises to give IT executives a way to tie together disparate
security systems internally and with business partners.
