Subject: RE: [security-services] Question regarding SAML usage
And in government alone, it's pretty large.. Even in our small country of 4M, we have our centralised pseudonymous IdP www.i.govt.nz which has around 300,00 citizen accounts and each time they logon, SAML 2.0 is used..so there are millions of transactions here alone... So if you add in everyone in this list (which I would suggest is only a fraction of the actual deployment) you get a sense of the scale... http://saml.xml.org/wiki/list-of-organizations-using-saml Cheers Colin -----Original Message----- From: security-services@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:security-services@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Nate Klingenstein Sent: Wednesday, 8 February 2012 11:37 a.m. To: OASIS SSTC Cc: Leif Johansson Subject: Re: [security-services] Question regarding SAML usage John, To expand a bit on this answer, we don't keep authoritative statistics or track SAML usage beyond what deployers happen to volunteer to us. There is indeed widespread deployment of SAML within the education and research spaces. This includes some major players in the health sciences, e.g. university hospitals and the National Institutes of Health, for starters. There has also been a healthcare standard developed by David Staggs of the VA within the SSTC, the technical committee responsible for SAML. http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/xspa/v1.0/saml-xspa-1.0-os.html Other industries (e.g. the MLS) have made SAML 2.0 an outright, explicit standard. In others, it is an implicit standard, and it is often used for pairwise corporate relationships. Many major SaaS and PaaS vendors feature SAML 2.0 support. Hopefully this is enough general background to help you make an informed decision. If you have a more focused question, we might be able to refer you to a more focused answer. Thanks for your interest in SAML, Nate.
