What does 'SAML Service Provider (SP)' mean?

The SAML Service Provider (SP) is a feature that has become necessary for enhancing the security of web applications. Essentially, it is a software component that enables applications to authenticate with an identity provider (IdP) using the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). The SP acts as a middleman between the application and the IdP, allowing the two to communicate securely and exchange information. It is specially designed to handle SAML requests and responses, ensuring that the authentication process is seamless and secure
