Stands for: Security Assertion Markup Language

An XML standard for exchanging authentication between identity providers and services.

Security Assertion Markup Language (OASIS) lets an identity provider vouch for a user to a service via signed XML assertions, the backbone of much enterprise single sign-on. JWT-based OIDC is the more modern alternative.
