Re: [OAUTH-WG] JWT Response for OAuth Token Introspection and types of tokens

[Torsten Lodderstedt <[e-mail]>]

Hi Andrii,

thanks for your post. 

The draft is intended to provide AS and RS with a solution to exchange signed (and optionally encrypted) token introspection responses in order to provide stronger assurance among those parties. This is important in use cases where the RS acts upon the introspection response data and wants the AS to take liability re the data quality. 

I’m not sure whether there are similar use cases if a client introspects a refresh token. What is your use case?

best regards,
Torsten.

Although, according to RFC7662, the introspection endpoint allows to introspect a refresh token as well. Hence, the question I have is how will a token introspection response look like when the caller provides a refresh token and sets the "Accept" HTTP header to "application/token-introspection+jwt"?
