Tokens (JWTs)"
draft-ietf-oauth-proof-of-possession-06
1. Summary
The document shepherd is Kepeng Li. The responsible Area Director is
Kathleen Moriarty.
This specification defines how to express a declaration in a JSON Web
Token (JWT) that the presenter of the JWT possesses a particular key
and that the recipient can cryptographically confirm proof-of-
possession of the key by the presenter. This property is also
sometimes described as the presenter being a holder-of-key.
This specification is a Standards Track RFC describing a solution
component described in the OAuth 2.0 Proof-of-Possession architecture
(see draft-ietf-oauth-pop-architecture).
