Daily Term: SAML

SAML

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (SP). It’s commonly used for Single Sign-On (SSO), where the IdP authenticates the user and sends a SAML assertion to the SP to grant access. SAML is widely used in enterprise settings for secure, cross-domain authentication but can be complex to implement and debug.
