(1) What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard, Internet
Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)? Why is this the proper type
of RFC? Is this type of RFC indicated in the title page header?
This specification is proposed as a 'Standards Track' document. The document
defines a new response type to an introspection request in the form of a JWT.
(2) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement Write-Up.
Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up. Recent examples can be
found in the "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval
announcement contains the following sections:
Technical Summary:
This draft proposes an additional JSON Web Token (JWT) based response for
OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection that allows for non-repudiation, and for
application level authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality.
Working Group Summary:
The document received many reviews and feedback from multiple WG members on the
mailing list and during the WG meetings.
The document was then submitted to the IESG, and during IESG review it had a
DISCUSS that required significant change that needed the attention and approval
of the WG. It was decided to send the document back to the WG to review the
change, and the authors presented the update during an IETF107 interim meeting
and got the support of the WG. The document then went through a WGLC during
which no objections were recorded to the proposed change.
The proposed change moves the data of the introspected token into a top-level
JWT claim to allow for the separation of the carrier JWT claims from the actual
token introspection response claims.
