Re: [OAUTH-WG] Assertion Framework - Why does issuer have to be either the 
client or a third party token service?






Hi Nat, 
 
The current text essentially says that the assertion can either be created 
by the client (in which case it is self-signed) or it can be created by 
some other entity (which is then called the third party token service). 
So, this third party could be the authorization server. 
 
Ciao
Hannes

Subject: [OAUTH-WG] Assertion Framework - Why does issuer have to be

Hi Brian, 
 
 
The assertion framework defines the Issuer as: 
 
   Issuer  The unique identifier for the entity that issued the
      assertion.  Generally this is the entity that holds the key
      material used to generate the assertion.  The issuer may be either
      an OAuth client (when assertions are self-issued) or a third party
      token service.
 
I was wondering why it has to be either the client or a third party token 
service. 
Conceptually, it could be any token service (functionality) residing in 
any of 
 
the stakeholders (Resource Owner, OAuth Client, Authorization Server, or 
a third party). 
 
 
I would appreciate if you could clarify why is the case. 
 
 
Best,
