What does SAML stand for in the context of Salesforce?

Security Assertion Markup Language
An open authorisation protocol that provides a framework for connecting applications to user accounts
Are a type of OAuth token, known as the Session ID
Used to make authenticated requests FOR the user

The correct answer is: Security Assertion Markup Language

SAML stands for Security Assertion Markup Language, which is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, particularly between an identity provider and a service provider. In the context of Salesforce, SAML allows organizations to implement Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities, enabling users to authenticate with their identity provider and gain access to Salesforce without needing to log in again. This is particularly beneficial for improving user experience by minimizing repeated login prompts across systems and enhancing security through consolidated authentication practices. The other options refer to different technologies or concepts that, while related to access management and security, do not accurately define what SAML is or its specific role within Salesforce.
