Hi,

Pieter, Sean and I have published an updated draft of 
oauth-txn-token-chaining-profile which describes how to use a transaction token 
to cross a trust domain boundary. The GitHub repository for the work can be 
found here: https://github.com/gffletch/tt_xdomain

Feedback on list or via issues is greatly appreciated. This is a key capability 
for deployments that are leveraging transaction tokens as the downstream 
workload may only have a transaction token and it needs to exchange it for the 
necessary tokens in order to invoke an API in another/different trust domain.

P.S. This draft replaces draft-fletcher-transaction-token-chaining-profile-02

Thanks,

> Abstract:
> 
>   This specification defines a profile of the OAuth Identity and
>   Authorization Chaining Across Domains
>   [I-D.ietf-oauth-identity-chaining] mechanism that uses a Transaction
>   Token (Txn-Token) [I-D.ietf-oauth-transaction-tokens] as the subject
>   token in a Token Exchange [RFC8693] request to obtain a JWT
>   Authorization Grant for crossing a trust boundary.
> 
>   A Txn-Token is scoped to a single trust domain and represents the
>   full authorization context of an in-progress transaction, regardless
>   of whether that transaction was initiated by a human user calling an
>   external API, by an internal system event, or by an automated
>   workload.  This profile specifies how a service operating within that
>   trust domain can present its Txn-Token to obtain a JWT Authorization
>   Grant that carries the necessary context across a trust boundary,
>   enabling an access token to be issued for a partner service, without
>   exposing internal trust-domain credentials or token formats beyond
>   the trust boundary.
