MAC and HOTK describe different properties of a token, and could both be

payload can be carried in a MAC token.
Speaking of MAC, are you referring to
"mac" parameter within MAC Authorization payload representing a HOTK
property ?

*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
