Definitions for "Assertion"
The act of asserting, or that which is asserted; positive declaration or averment; affirmation; statement asserted; position advanced.
Every proto-thing (or thing) can have a set of machine-checkable checks associated with it, checks that are `true' if an object is such a thing, and `false' otherwise. We call these checks a thing's assertions (following programmer-speak...).
A statement of the correct state of a program at some point, independent of how it does it. Typically, an ASSERTION specifies the result of an operation or an invariant of a design element.
a construct that does nothing if the desired condition is met , but will produce an informative error message for debug purposes if it is not
a debugging tool designed to conditionally pause your code if a fatal error is raised
a neat way of generating an exception if a certain condition is (unexpectedly) false, where the exception provides details about the file and line number of the failure
When an Identity Provider authenticates a user and directs them back to the referring Service Provider, it includes as part of the message an assertion to prove that the user authenticated. See also Identity Provider, Service Provider.
A piece of data produced by a SAML authority regarding either an act of authentication performed on a subject, attribute information about the subject, or authorization data applying to the subject with respect to a specified resource. This Assertion is used in access control and audit trails.
An assertion is data, produced by a SAML authority, constituting a declaration of identity, or attribute information, or authorizations.
In .NET Framework security, helps to make sure that a method has access to a particular resource even if the method's callers do not have the required permission. During a stack walk, if a stack frame asserting the required permission is encountered, a security check for that permission will succeed. Assertions can create security holes and should be used only with extreme caution.
a check for some precondition for a piece of code
