SAML-based products and services: SAML is a set of specifications that ENCOMPASSES the XML-format for security tokens containing assertions to pass information about a user and protocols and profiles to implement authentication and authorization scenarios.

SAML actors are Identity Providers (IdP), Service Providers (SP), Discovery Services, ECP Clients, Metadata Services, or Broker/IDP-proxy.

SAML: Security Assertion Markup Language is a version of the SAML standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains.

Identity and access management (IAM): In computer security, identity and access management (IAM) is the security and business discipline that "enables the right individuals to access the right resources at the right times and for the right reasons". It addresses the need to ensure appropriate access to resources across increasingly heterogeneous technology environments and to meet increasingly rigorous compliance requirements.

SSO: Single sign-on (SSO) is a session and user authentication service that permits a user to use one set of login credentials (e.g., name and password) to access multiple applications.

We have a SSO solution to enable us to centralize the end to end management of

online user accounts and provide transparent/integrated sign-in across our federated

web sites.

Active Directory: is a database that keeps track of all the user accounts and passwords in your organization. It allows you to store your user accounts and passwords in one protected location, improving your organization's security. Active Directory is subdivided into one or more domains.

Multi Factor Authentication: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a method of computer access control in which a user is granted access only after successfully presenting several separate pieces of evidence to an authentication mechanism – typically at least two of the following categories: knowledge (something they know), possession (something they have), and inherence (something they are)

PingID: Multi-factor Authentication Solution: When you look at the headlines today, it's obvious that a username and password are not enough to protect access to applications. PingID™ multi-factor authentication (MFA), part of our enterprise IDaaS platform, is a strong authentication solution that enables users to authenticate to applications using multiple factors. It provides the perfect balance of user experience and security. With PingID MFA, you get:

• ·         Strong authentication to legacy and cloud applications using a mobile app.
• ·         Out-of-the-box integration with the PingOne® cloud and PingFederate® server.
• ·         Co-branding support for a consistent and familiar user experience.
• ·         MFA for privileged users with VPN, RDP, and SSH support.
• ·         Ability for users to authenticate with the Apple Watch.
• ·         Biometrics support on select Apple and Samsung devices.
• ·         Offline support using one-time passcodes (OTPs).
• ·         OTPs delivered via voice call, SMS, email or a desktop app for Windows or Mac.
• ·         Hard token support with YubiKey and many third-party solutions.

Identity as a Service (IDaaS): Enterprises are embracing cloud and mobile technologies. As they do, they’re moving beyond traditional network boundaries and the capabilities of their legacy identity and access management (IAM) solutions.

Identity as a service (IDaaS) are SaaS-based IAM offerings that allow organizations to use single sign-on (SSO using SAML or OIDC), authentication and access controls to provide secure access to their gro
