Security Token Service (STS)

A Security Token Service (STS) is a digital service that verifies your identity and provides you with a secure, temporary digital certificate called a security token. This token functions like a digital passport, allowing you to access different applications or services without sharing your password repeatedly. The STS ensures that only authorized users gain access, and the tokens are time-limited to enhance security. Essentially, it streamlines secure access management in digital environments, enabling seamless, trusted interactions between users and multiple online systems.
