I presented to the Portland chapter of the OWASP Foundation this afternoon on SAML, digital identity, and federation. It went really well, and it was very enjoyable. Thanks to all who attended and to the group's organizers, AJ Dexter and Tim Morgan. I've uploaded my slides, and anyone is free to use them. Check out the OWASP Web site for upcoming events. If you have topics you'd like to suggest or are interested in speaking to the group about something related to Web application security, I'm sure they would love to hear from you.
If you're confused by something in the slides, have feedback, or would like me to present to your group about this or other topics, please let me know.

One quick comment Travis: you might want to provide your presentation in an older PPT format so some folks with older systems can easily view it. One thing I'd like to know is not only the cost of fraud (there's a lot of talk about that), but a measure of the cost of the inefficiencies due to using antiquated, non-SSO, non-federated systems. I am willing to bet that cost is HUGE to organizations. Good stuff, Travis.
Great suggestion, Daniel. I will always post a PPT as well as a PPTX whenever I upload slides from now on.
I would like to know how much non-SSO solutions cost as well. Hard number to get though.
