Compares concrete tradeoffs: SAML assertions are XML and large with artifact resolution and XML signature pitfalls, versus OpenID Connect uses compact JWT ID tokens and Discovery and supports PKCE for public clients. Demonstrates the practical JWT hazard where a token’s alg header can be abused, recommends Doorkeeper openid_connect, jwt.io and oidcdebugger.com for local testing, and warns that SSO creates a single point of failure and that libraries must be kept patched.
