WS-Federation is also a part of WS* standards. While SAML only works with SAML tokens, WS-Federation supports the use of many token types, including SAML. Basically, WS-Federation provides a mechanism to simplify the communication between an IdP and an SP. 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 STS model and protocol.
