Re: [OAUTH-WG] I-D Action: draft-ietf-oauth-pop-architecture-06.txt

[Phil Hunt <[e-mail]>]

Ok. Well this was requested by Kathleen because of this paragraph in Sec 6.…

   To simplify the subsequent description we assume in the PoP architecture
   that the token itself is digitally signed by the authorization server
   and therefore cannot be modified.
