Hi Florian/Christoph,
I am reading the description of token in your draft:
HMAC() is the function defined in [RFC2104] with H being the selected
HT hash algorithm, 'cb-data' represents the data provided by the
selected channel binding type, and 'token' are the UTF-8 encoded
octets of the SASL-HT token string which acts as a shared secret
between initiator and responder.
This made me wonder why is the token defined as UTF-8 string and not just as binary data?
Thank you,
Alexey
