I have been assuming that security considerations from RFC 6750 would be applied to “PoP” tokens as well when the tokens presentment/confirmation specs are done.
Sec 5.2 of RFC 6750 covers mitigations for modification and manufacture for by value and by reference tokens. Do we want to keep repeating this information in all documents or reference it? It is fair to say that the threats and mitigations from bearer tokens also apply to PoP tokens. PoP tokens add additional key information that must also be protected along with the other information in a access token.
