This document specifies two variants of the two-message issuance
protocol for Privacy Pass tokens: one that produces tokens that are
privately verifiable using the Issuer Private Key and one that
produces tokens that are publicly verifiable using the Issuer Public
Key.  Instances of "issuance protocol" and "issuance protocols" in
the text of this document are used interchangeably to refer to the
two variants of the Privacy Pass issuance protocol.

This document is a product of the Privacy Pass Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.
