## Remarks
A claim is a statement about a subject by an issuer. Claims represent attributes of the subject that are useful in the context of authentication and authorization operations. Subjects and issuers are both entities that are part of an identity scenario. Some typical examples of a subject are: a user, an application or service, a device, or a computer. Some typical examples of an issuer are: the operating system, an application. a service, a role provider, an identity provider, or a federation provider. An issuer delivers claims by issuing security tokens, typically through a Security Token Service (STS). (In WIF, you can build an STS by deriving from the <xref:System.IdentityModel.SecurityTokenService> class.) On occasion, the collection of claims received from an issuer can be extended by subject attributes stored directly at the resource. A claim can be evaluated to determine access rights to data and other secured resources during the process of authorization and can also be used to make or express authentication decisions about a subject.

Beginning with .NET 4.5, the Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) classes, which implement claims-based identity, have been fully integrated into the .NET Framework. The claims concept is implemented by the <xref:System.Security.Claims.Claim> class.
