The OAuth Assertions and SAML Profile outlines the stable specifications that have undergone no normative changes since April 2012. It highlights the importance of usage statements for IESG and mentions that OpenID Connect utilizes the JWT Profile based on the Assertions Framework, with over a dozen implementations demonstrating significant interoperability testing. The SAML Profile's usage statements are essential for JWT Bearer Token Profiles, which are designed to be fully parallel to the SAML Profile, differing only in token formats. The document is prepared to move to WGLC pending the JOSE specs.
