The claims token contains the claims pertaining to the user. Windows accounts are converted into Windows claims. Forms-based membership users are transformed into forms-based authentication claims. SharePoint Server can use claims that are included in SAML-based tokens.
How does claims based authentication work in SharePoint?
For claims-based authentication, SharePoint Server automatically changes all user accounts to claims identities. This results in a security token (also known as a claims token) for each user. The claims token contains the claims pertaining to the user.
How does ASP.NET support authentication in SharePoint?

Note that if the SharePoint app does not require a SharePoint secured resource to render the page for the user, app authentication is not needed. For example, a SharePoint app that provides weather forecast information and only has to access a weather information server on the Internet does not have to use app authentication.
