This document describes a general framework to enable XML-based security tokens to be used with WS-Security. Two profiles that use this general framework are provided: one for the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and another for the eXtensible rights Markup Language (XrML). Note that this specification does not endorse any particular XML security token standard -- the description of SAML and XrML are provided to show the mechanisms by which the bindings should be performed. Additional XML token formats may be added to this specification in future revisions as needed.
