And this is exactly the problem with the “collaborating clients” attack, as has been pointed out any number of times it’s been brought up before. If two clients are willingly collaborating in this way, they do not need to share any cryptographic material and impersonate each other.
You don’t need to steal my license if I’m willing to just go buy you beer. The DPoP draft does address signed request re-use, which some see as a feature to be carefully applied. — Justin > On Mar 28, 2022, at 1:04 PM, Steinar Noem <stei...@udelt.no> wrote: > > Interesting, but won't two collaborating clients just pass any data they want > to each other?
