I asked the guy making the presentation about the similarity to Kerberos message flows and he said something to the effect of ah yes, kerberos.
Not sure what the guy meant by that. But yes, SAML flows are "just like" Kerberos flows. And Liberty and WS-Federation look a lot like DCE cross-cell (er, Kerberos inter-realm) flows. After all, there's only not many ways to do secure online trusted third-party authentication.
