1. Introduction
OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection [RFC7662] specifies a method for a
protected resource to query an OAuth 2.0 authorization server to
determine the state of an access token and obtain data associated
with the access token. This allows deployments to implement
identifier-based access tokens in an interoperable way.
The introspection response, as specified in OAuth 2.0 Token
Introspection [RFC7662], is a plain JSON object. However, there are
use cases where the resource server requires stronger assurance that
the authorization server issued the access token, including cases
where the authorization server assumes liability for the token's
content. An example is a resource server using verified person data
to create certificates, which in turn are used to create qualified
electronic signatures.
In such use cases it may be useful or even required to return a
signed JWT as the introspection response. This specification extends
the token introspection endpoint with the capability to return
responses as JWTs.
