Symlabs Federated Identity Suite delivers the flexibility to create an identity management solution with Single Sign-On and Single Log-Out for nearly any environment. It is fully compliant with SAML (1.0, 1.1, & 2.0 including GSA profile) plus open Liberty Alliance standards (ID-WSF 2.0 & ID-FF 1.2), and also provides support for WS-Federation 1.0.

ZXID.org Identity Management toolkit implements standalone SAML 2.0
and Liberty ID-WSF 2.0 stacks. It is a C implementation with minimal
external dependencies - OpenSSL, CURL, and zlib - ensuring easy
deployment (no DLLhell). Due to its small footprint and efficient and
accurate schema driven implementation, it is suitable for embedded and
high volume applications. Language bindings to all popular highlevel
languages such as PHP, Perl, and Java, are provided via SWIG. ZXID
implements, as of July 07, SP, WSC, and WSP roles.

Lockstep Technologies’ Stepwise radically enhances privacy, security and safety for consumers transacting on the Internet. Stepwise uses smartcards and similar intelligent personal security devices to de-identify highly sensitive transactions, such as e-health record entries, payment instructions, e-voting ballots and so on.
