WS-Trust

WS-Trust is a protocol used in digital security that helps organizations securely share and verify identities across different systems and services. Think of it as a trusted passport system: when a user wants access to a resource, WS-Trust facilitates the process of proving their identity and obtaining permission, often via secure tokens. This ensures that users can seamlessly authenticate themselves without repeatedly sharing sensitive information, maintaining security and privacy while enabling smooth access across diverse platforms and applications.
