SCT
Security Context Token.
A data structure (or in some contexts a pointer to a data structure) holding information to
identify an established secure communication between two end points. The SCT
is created as a result of establishing a secure communication and is used to
confirm the identify of the sender.SCTs are used in Web Services Reliable
Messaging and by SOAP.SCTs can be stateless or stateful. A stateful
SCT will have some data that changes each time it is used. A stateless SCT
does not include any context information and is less secure than a stateful
SCT.
