In an SSO operation using SAML, what is the transient identifier designed to prevent?

A. a third party from identifying a specific user as having previously accessed a service provider
B. a third party from capturing data enroute
C. the identity provider from creating multiple IDs
D. the service provider from performing multiple authentications

A
Explanation: To prevent a third party from identifying a specific user as having previously accessed a service provider through an SSO operation, SAML uses transient identifiers (only valid for a single login session) and will be different each time the user authenticates again, but will stay the same as long as the user is authenticated.
