Single Sign-On Protocol Comparison (SSO Protocol Comparison)


A long-established authentication, authorization, and single sign-on protocol. Uses XML to exchange information. SAML assertions or tokens are relatively large and more difficult to process. Does not natively support user consent, although this can be achieved through additional development. Because it has been available for a long time, it is still trusted by many organizations, including government institutions. Well suited for enterprises and business-to-business information exchange.	A newer single sign-on protocol built on the OAuth 2.0 framework. Uses JSON-based Web Tokens (JWTs), which are smaller and easier to process. Natively supports user consent. OIDC is increasingly providing features supported by SAML. Well suited for business-to-consumer information exchange. It also supports authentication for modern applications such as single-page applications (SPAs) and mobile applications.
