SAML Security
The SAML specifications recommend, and in some cases mandate, a variety of security mechanisms:
- SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 for transport-level security
- XML Signature and XML Encryption for message-level security
Requirements are often phrased in terms of (mutual) authentication, integrity, and confidentiality, leaving the choice of security mechanism to implementers and deployers.

Famous quotes containing the word security:
“I feel a sincere wish indeed to see our government brought back to it’s republican principles, to see that kind of government firmly fixed, to which my whole life has been devoted. I hope we shall now see it so established, as that when I retire, it may be under full security that we are to continue free and happy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
