Online Service Providers have recognized an opportunity to realize tremendous new business opportunities through implementing Liberty standards in their products and offerings. The standards have given them a new—more secure and more private—means of interacting with their partners and delivering new services to their customers. This is definitely one of the hottest spaces to watch in terms of exploding new business developments.
In the chart below, please note that “Liberty Federation” is used to indicate any of the standards in the Liberty Federation family of specs (ID-FF 1.x, 2.0 and SAML 2.0).
