Explanation
In SAML 2.0, 'bindings' define how SAML protocol messages are mapped to standard communication protocols and transported between entities. Examples include HTTP Redirect, HTTP POST, HTTP Artifact, and SOAP bindings - each specifying a different way to carry SAML messages. Assertions contain the security statements about a user. Profiles combine assertions, protocols, and bindings for specific use cases (e.g., Web Browser SSO). Metadata describes the capabilities and configuration of SAML entities (Identity Providers and Service Providers).
