The Liberty Alliance is a consortium of business leaders with a vision to enable a networked world in which individuals and businesses can more easily conduct transactions while protecting the privacy and security of vital identity information.
To accomplish its vision, the Liberty Alliance established an open standard for federated network identity through open technical specifications. In essence, this open standard is a structured version of the Security Assertions Markup Language, commonly referred to as SAML, with the goal of accelerating the deployment of standards-based single sign-on technology.
