(cross-posting on network-tokens - apologies for duplicates)

Hi Erik,

While there is an overlap with APN, there is more than just an authentication element.

Take for example a user-centric, application-agnostic QoS service, where the tokens just describe the type of service a user wants to use (e.g., low latency). There is nothing there that specifies the application which will use the token, and the OS can step up and manage/acquire tokens on behalf of the user. (We've been developing this use case as one that matches EU's net neutrality framework for QoS).

Regarding abuse: we are thinking of tokens as an equivalent of access tokens/JWT and OATH workflows. Surely one could abuse them, but we expect/want the community to come-up with a small number of well-defined workflows that are well understood, widely adopted, and protect users.

Best,

Yiannis
