Technical Comparison: OpenID and SAML - Draft 06
January 17, 2008

Abstract

This document presents a technical comparison of the OpenID Authentication
protocol and the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) Web Browser SSO
Profile and the SAML framework itself. Topics addressed include design
centers,
terminology, specification set contents and scope, user identifier
treatment,
web single sign-on profiles, trust, security, identity provider discovery
mechanisms, key agreement approaches, as well as message formats and
protocol
bindings. An executive summary targeting various audiences, and presented
from
the perspectives of end-users, implementors, tna deployers, is provided. We
do
not attempt to assign relative value between OpenID and SAML, e.g. which is
"better"; rather, it attempts to present an objective technical comparison.
