An application server can use the Voluntary Application Server
Identification (VAPID) method described in this document to
voluntarily identify itself to a push service. The "vapid"
authentication scheme allows a client to include its identity in a
signed token with requests that it makes. The signature can be used
by the push service to attribute requests that are made by the same
application server to a single entity. The identification
information can allow the operator of a push service to contact the
operator of the application server. The signature can be used to
restrict the use of a push message subscription to a single
application server.
This document is a product of the Web-Based Push Notifications Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
