The Liberty Alliance today unveiled the public draft release of its second-generation framework for identity-based web services, dubbed ID-WSF 2.0.
According to the consortium, which promotes federated identity standards and identity-based web services, the framework has been extended to include support for the second version of Security Assertions Markup Language (SAML) 2.0.
The standard specifically defines how SAML 2.0 assertions can be used to communicate identity information among identity-based web services.
