I don't think there's anything else we can reasonably do/say here, but it does seem potentially surprising that we could get into a state where client and AS both think that the token is a PoP token but the RS interprets it as a bearer token. I expect that in most cases where PoP CWTs are used in an application context, either the client would be able to detect this (e.g., by the RS not asking for a confirmation message) or the client would send a confirmation message and the RS would treat it as malformed, so the scope for practical impact seems limited, but it's hard to confidently make sweeping statements. -Ben _______________________________________________ Ace mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ace
