MAC and HOTK describe different properties of a token, and could both be used in the same token.  MAC specifies a basic format for a signed token payload and transaction.  HOTK defines part of a token payload.  HOTK payload can be carried in a MAC token.

Subject: [OAUTH-WG] Few questions about HOTK
 
Hi Hannes, others,

I'd like to understand what is the difference between HOTK Symmetric [1] and MAC [2].

I'm reading about HOTK Symmetric and JWS profile and it seems like HOTK Symmetric text can support MAC.

My main question at the moment: does HOTK (Symmetric) offer an alternative to MAC or is HOTK actually a higher-level token scheme which can support different types of tokens ?

thanks, Sergey
