An enterprise is implementing a federated web single sign-on (SSO) solution allowing corporate users to access external cloud applications seamlessly. The architectural requirement mandates using an open standard that relies on XML-based security assertions to transmit authentication state and user attributes from the Identity Provider (IdP) to the Service Provider (SP). Which of the following protocols should the security architect select to meet these requirements?
- SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language)Cevap
- BOAuth 2.0
- CRADIUS
- DKerberos
Cevap
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is the correct architectural choice for XML-based federated web SSO between an Identity Provider and a Service Provider.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open XML-based standard created specifically for federated Single Sign-On (SSO). It allows an Identity Provider (IdP) to package authentication state, user attributes, and entitlement assertions into XML tokens sent to a Service Provider (SP), perfectly satisfying all stated requirements.
