A federation protocol connects the IdP and RP together with a series of messages. These messages include assertions, which are passed between the IdP and RP to represent the federated authentication event, and the contents of identity APIs, which convey additional attribute information about the subscriber. This section enumerates requirements for these common components but is not intended to provide sufficient detail for any specific federation protocol.
