MAC and HOTK describe different properties of a token, and could both be used
in the same token. MAC specifies a basic format for a signed token payload and
transaction. HOTK defines part of a token payload. HOTK payload can be
carried in a MAC token.

Subject: [OAUTH-WG] Few questions about HOTK
Hi Hannes, others,
I'd like to understand what is the difference between HOTK Symmetric [1] and
MAC [2].
I'm reading about HOTK Symmetric and JWS profile and it seems like HOTK
Symmetric text can support MAC.
My main question at the moment: does HOTK (Symmetric) offer an alternative to
MAC or is HOTK actually a higher-level token scheme which can support different
types of tokens ?
thanks, Sergey
