Audiance should be a single value. That requires separate keys for symmetric, or asymmetric keys provisioned by the AS. For asymmetric keys provisioned by the client it would be up to the client to decide if using the same key for multiple RS makes sense. It might be that there is a single key provisioned by a MSM in the tpm that they want to use for all the connections as that is the most secure, and are not concerned with correlation as all the RS are internal to a single enterprise. > QUESTION: Should we register the token_type and alg parameters for use > with the dynamic client registration protocol? > > Hannes: I believe we should register these two parameters into the > dynamic client registration protocol since that allows us to configure > the values for the client rather than exchanging them with every message. > John: Yes I had assumed that that was a no brainer. The other question on registering is if we should allow the client to preregister a public key as well. In some situations the client may want to always use the same key and making them push it each time is a waste of bandwidth.
