Revision of Internet2 and Shibboleth from Wed, 2007-12-12 22:17

Shibboleth is a project within the Internet2 higher-education
consortium to develop technical and policy frameworks and an open
software system for the sharing of online resources among researchers,
professors, and students. Shibboleth profiled SAML for
its particular requirements and also built privacy
management into its architecture. Shibboleth's input was fed back
into SAML V2.0, and new work at Shibboleth is anticipated to be built
on the SAML V2.0 OASIS Standard.
