Hi all, 

I just submitted an updated version of the draft-ietf-oauth-v2-http-mac-03.txt. 

I would like to point out that this is **discussion input** -- not agreed 
content. Anything in the document is subject to change!
You also may notice that there are a few questions in the writeup. 

I was trying to more specific about some of the design aspects that folks had 
proposed during the last few months. 
I have also re-submitted the draft-tschofenig-oauth-hotk, which includes a TLS 
and a JSON-based solution approach. 

In general, the open questions still seem to be related to 
* Key distribution: What should be described in a document? What is mandatory 
to implement? 
* Selective header field protection: This is something that was brought forward 
in discussions and I have included a proposal of how this could look like.
* Channel Binding: Functionality is also included to deal with 
man-in-the-middle attacks against TLS. There are, however, two types of channel 
bindings defined in RFC 5929. Are both needed? If not, which one should be 
selected? 
* Integrity protection and data origin authentication in both directions: The 
current writeup allows the protection to be extended to messages beyond the 
initial request. This also offers key confirmation by the server and protection 
of any responses.  

Writing the text I also noticed that I do not quite understand how nested JWT 
documents are supposed to look like. For example, how do I encrypt the mac_key 
carried inside the JWT plus add a signature of all other fields? Currently, I 
have just encrypted the entire payload. 

I hope to have some discussions prior to the IETF meeting so that we have a 
more fruitful discussion at the face-to-face meeting.

Ciao
Hannes
