Hello WG,

adding the issuer identifier to the authorization response as a
countermeasure to mix-up attacks is well-known on this list and already
part of the security BCP (see 4.4.2
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-security-topics-16#section-4.4.2>).
However, the "iss" parameter is currently not properly specified. Daniel
and I wrote an ID to solve this issue.

We would like to ask the working group to give us feedback on our first
draft version:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-meyerzuselhausen-oauth-iss-auth-resp-00

Abstract

   This document specifies a new parameter "iss" that is used to
   explicitly include the issuer identifier of the authorization server
   in the authorization response of an OAuth authorization grant.  If
   implemented correctly, the "iss" parameter serves as an effective
   countermeasure to "mix-up" attacks.


The need for a proper specification of the "iss" parameter was discussed
in this thread:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/oauth/DQR2ZXtGKfa-8UGtuPYyZoAaBIc/

Best regards,
Karsten
