Wiki page: Submitted by carolgeyer on Wed, 2007-12-12 22:12. Last updated on Wed, 2008-01-23 16:40.

SAML version 2.0 introduces a number of new features, including:

  • Pseudonyms (a key privacy-enabling technology)
  • Identifier management (for managing pseudonyms)
  • Metadata (for expressing configuration and trust-related data to make deployment of SAML systems easier)
  • Encryption (so that attribute statements, name identifiers, or entire assertions can be encrypted in place)
  • Attribute profiles
  • Session management (for single logout)
  • Mobile device support (to better address their challenges and opportunities)
  • Identity provider discovery (for deployments having more than one identity provider)
