WS-Federation
WS-Federation is also a part of WS* standards. While SAML only works with the SAML token, WS-Federation supports to use many token types including SAML. Basically, WS-Federation provides a mechanism to simplify the communication between an IdP and a service provider. The fundamental goal of WS-Federation is to simplify the development of federated services through cross-realm communication and management of Federation Services by reusing the WS-Trust Security Token Service model and protocol.
