!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] as we use it is [Federated Identity Management]
[{$pagename}] is a process that allows for the conveyance of identity and [authentication] information across a set of networked systems. In a [{$pagename}] scenario, the [verifier] or [Credential Service Provider] is known as the [Identity Provider (IDP)], or [IDP]. The [Relying Party], or [RP], is the party that receives the [Federated Identity]. ([NIST.SP.800-63C])

A [{$pagename}] occurs when one system [trust]s an [Identity Provider (IDP)] to [authenticate] a [digital Identity]
Some people only refer to [{$pagename}] when it is [Cross-domain authentication].
Others prefer to say anytime the [authentication Method] is not on the same system it is a [{$pagename}].
Generally, any [RP] which accepts the [credential]'s from an [Identity Provider (IDP)] is part of a [{$pagename}].
The [Identity Provider (IDP)] is the Primary Domain and the other security domains that [trust]s the [Identity Provider (IDP)] to [authenticate] a [digital Identity] are referred to as [Relying Party] ([RP])/[Service Providers|SP] ([SP]).
[Credential] information is typically __NOT__ passed between the parties.
[Digital Identity] data may be passed between these parties.
[{$pagename}] is a form of [Identity Correlation] and/or [Identity Broker]
Often [Tokens] are used in [{$pagename}] by a system called a [Security Token Service] ([STS]) which would typically be in or strongly associated with the [Identity Provider (IDP)]
!! [Federation Models]
[Federation Models] provides an overview of and requirements for common identity [Federation Models] currently in use. In each model, relationships are established between members of the federation in several different ways.
