Interoperable Authentication Stephen Timchak, program executive for the federal government's E-Authentication project is promoting SAML 2.0.  The new specification was approved in January.  For a simple understanding of what the SAML standard is and isn't, check out "Debunking SAML myths and misunderstandings."  The Liberty Alliance has also announced that its Identity Web Services Framework now supports the SAML 2.0 release.
