WHAT IS SINGLE ANTELOPE ABOUT?
It is a Single-Sign-On(SSO), end-to-end secure and interoperable web services implementation with SAML. Security is established by WS-Specifications such as WS-Policy, WS-Security and WS-Trust between web services which are in different security domains.
WHERE THE "SINGLE ANTELOPE" NAME COMES FROM?
We believe in "Open Source Philsophy". We have realized some similarities between Open Source Philosophy and the Animal Kingdom (the nature). For instance, the idea of sharing and accumulation in order to survive..
The wild animals such as Cheetahs often attack to the Antelopes. As the attack of the Men-in-the-Middle to the Web Sevices.. Because Antelopes are not as much athletic as Cheetahs, the attacks end with sad results. Thus, the poor antelopes need SECURITY. Antelopes live, share and work together. That is, they have the instinct of INTEROPERABILITY which is also the hearth of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)..
