Abstract :
The security assertion markup language (SAML) standard supports the expression of security assertions such as authentication, role membership, or permissions. SAML assertions may be used to realize single-sign-on between Web servers located in different domains. After a short introduction to SAML, this article describes the application of SAML to protect session initiation protocol (SIP) signaling
