  A security token is a set of information that facilitates the sharing of
  identity and security information in heterogeneous environments or across
  security domains.  Examples of security tokens include JSON Web Tokens
  (JWTs) <xref target="RFC7519" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="JWT"/> and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
  2.0 assertions <xref target="OASIS.saml-core-2.0-os" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="OASIS.saml-core-2.0-os"/>.  Security tokens are
  typically signed to achieve integrity and sometimes also encrypted to
  achieve confidentiality.  Security tokens are also sometimes described as
  assertions, such as in <xref target="RFC7521" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC7521"/>.

      <t pn="section-1-2">
  A Security Token Service (STS) is a service capable of validating
  security tokens provided to it and issuing new security tokens in
  response, which enables clients to obtain appropriate
  access credentials for resources in heterogeneous environments or across security
  domains.
  Web Service clients have used WS-Trust <xref target="WS-Trust" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="WS-Trust"/>
  as the protocol to interact with an STS for token exchange.
  While WS-Trust
  uses XML and SOAP, the trend in modern Web development
  has been towards RESTful (Representational State Transfer) patterns and JSON.
  The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework <xref target="RFC6749" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC6749"/>
  and OAuth 2.0 Bearer Tokens <xref target="RFC6750" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC6750"/>
  have emerged as popular standards for authorizing third-party
  applications' access to HTTP and RESTful resources.
  The conventional OAuth 2.0 interaction involves the exchange of some
  representation of resource owner authorization for an access token,
  which has proven to be an extremely useful pattern in practice. However,
  its input and output are somewhat too constrained as is to fully
  accommodate a security token exchange framework.
</t>
      <t pn="section-1-3">
  This specification defines a protocol extending OAuth 2.0 that enables
  clients to request and obtain security tokens from authorization servers acting in
  the role of an STS.
  Similar to OAuth 2.0, this specification focuses on client developer simplicity and
  requires only an HTTP client and JSON parser, which are nearly universally available
  in modern development environments. The STS protocol defined in this specification
  is not itself RESTful (an STS doesn't lend itself particularly well to a REST
  approach) but does utilize communication patterns and data formats that should be
  familiar to developers accustomed to working with RESTful systems.
</t>
      <t pn="section-1-4">
  A new grant type for a token exchange request and the associated specific parameters for
  such a request to the token endpoint are defined by this specification.
  A token exchange response is a normal OAuth 2.0 response from the token endpoint
  with a few additional parameters defined herein to provide information to the client.
</t>
      <t pn="section-1-5">
  The entity that makes the request to exchange tokens is considered the client in the
  context of the token exchange interaction. However, that does not restrict
  usage of this profile to traditional OAuth clients. An OAuth resource server, for example, might assume
  the role of the client during token exchange in order to trade an
  access token that it received in a protected resource request for
  a new token that is appropriate to include in a call to a backend
  service. The new token might be an access token that is more
  narrowly scoped for the downstream service or it could be an entirely different kind
  of token.
</t>
      <t pn="section-1-6">
  The scope of this specification is limited to the definition of a
  basic request-and-response protocol for an STS-style token exchange utilizing OAuth 2.0.
  Although a few new JWT claims are defined that enable delegation semantics to be expressed,
  the specific syntax, semantics, and security characteristics of the tokens themselves
  (both those presented to the authorization server and those obtained by the client)
  are explicitly out of scope, and no requirements are placed on the trust model in
  which an implementation might be deployed. Additional profiles may provide
  more detailed requirements around the specific nature of the parties and trust involved,
  such as whether signing and/or encryption of tokens is needed or if proof-of-possession-style
  tokens will be required or issued. However, such details
  will often be policy decisions made with respect to the specific needs of individual
  deployments and will be configured or implemented accordingly.

  The security tokens obtained may be used in a number of contexts,

    One common use case for an STS (as alluded to in the previous section)
    is to allow a resource server A to make calls to a backend service C on
    behalf of the requesting user B.  Depending on the local site policy and
    authorization infrastructure, it may be desirable for A to use its own
    credentials to access C along with an annotation of some form that A is
    acting on behalf of B ("delegation") or for A to be granted a limited access
    credential to C but that continues to identify B as the authorized
    entity ("impersonation").  Delegation and impersonation can be useful
    concepts in other scenarios involving multiple participants as well.
        </t>
        <t pn="section-1.1-2">
    When principal A impersonates principal B, A is given all
    the rights that B has within some defined rights context
    and is indistinguishable from B in that context.
    Thus, when principal A impersonates principal B, then insofar
    as any entity receiving such a token is concerned, they are
    actually dealing with B. It is true that some members of the
    identity system might have awareness that impersonation is
    going on, but it is not a requirement.
    For all intents and purposes, when A is impersonating B, A is B within the
    context of the rights authorized by the token. A's ability to impersonate B could
    be limited in scope or time, or even with a one-time-use restriction,
    whether via the contents of the token or an out-of-band mechanism.
        </t>
        <t pn="section-1.1-3">
    Delegation semantics are different than
    impersonation semantics, though the two are closely related.
    With delegation semantics, principal A still has its own identity
    separate from B, and it is explicitly understood that while B
    may have delegated some of its rights to A, any actions taken are
    being taken by A representing B. In a sense, A is an agent for B.
        </t>
        <t pn="section-1.1-4">
    Delegation and impersonation are not inclusive of all situations.
    When a principal is acting directly on its own behalf, for example,
    neither delegation nor impersonation are in play. They are, however,
    the more common semantics operating for token exchange and, as such, are
    given more direct treatment in this specification.
        </t>
        <t pn="section-1.1-5">
    Delegation semantics are typically expressed in a token by including information about both the
    primary subject of the token as well as the actor to whom that subject has delegated some of its rights.
    Such a token is sometimes referred to as a composite token because it is composed of information
    about multiple subjects. Typically, in the request, the <tt>subject_token</tt>
    represents the identity of the party on
    behalf of whom the token is being requested while the <tt>actor_token</tt> represents
    the identity of the party to whom the access rights of the issued token are being delegated.
    A composite token issued by the authorization server will contain information about both parties.
    When and if a composite token is issued is at the discretion of the authorization server and
    applicable policy and configuration.
        </t>
        <t pn="section-1.1-6">
    The specifics of representing a composite token and even whether or not
    such a token will be issued depend on the details of the implementation
    and the kind of token.  The representations of composite tokens that are
    not JWTs are beyond the scope of this specification.  The <tt>actor_token</tt> request parameter, however, does provide
    a means for providing information about the desired actor, and the JWT
    <tt>act</tt> claim can provide a representation of a
    chain of delegation.

  The distinction between an access token and a JWT is subtle.
  An access token represents a delegated authorization decision, whereas JWT is a token format.
  An access token can be formatted as a JWT but doesn't necessarily have to be. And a
  JWT might well be an access token, but not all JWTs are access tokens.

  The intent of this specification is that <tt>urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token</tt>
  be an indicator that the token is a typical OAuth access token issued by the authorization server in question, opaque to the client,
  and usable the same manner as any other access token obtained from that authorization server.
  (It could well be a JWT, but the client isn't and needn't be aware of that fact.)
  Whereas, <tt>urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:jwt</tt> is to indicate specifically that a JWT is
  being requested or sent (perhaps in a cross-domain use case where the JWT is used as an authorization grant to
  obtain an access token from a different authorization server as is facilitated by <xref target="RFC7523" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC7523"/>).

        In addition, both delegation and impersonation introduce unique
        security issues.  Any time one principal is delegated the rights of
        another principal, the potential for abuse is a concern.  The use of
        the <tt>scope</tt> claim (in addition to other
        typical constraints such as a limited token lifetime) is suggested to
        mitigate potential for such abuse, as it restricts the contexts in
        which the delegated rights can be exercised.

              <t>A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact sequence of characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource.  This specification defines the generic URI syntax and a process for resolving URI references that might be in relative form, along with guidelines and security considerations for the use of URIs on the Internet.  The URI syntax defines a grammar that is a superset of all valid URIs, allowing an implementation to parse the common components of a URI reference without knowing the scheme-specific requirements of every possible identifier.  This specification does not define a generative grammar for URIs; that task is performed by the individual specifications of each URI scheme.  [STANDARDS-TRACK]</t>

              <t>The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction between the resource owner and the HTTP service, or by allowing the third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf.  This specification replaces and obsoletes the OAuth 1.0 protocol described in RFC 5849.  [STANDARDS-TRACK]</t>

Mechanisms are specified for transporting assertions during interactions with a token endpoint; general processing rules are also specified.</t>
              <t>The intent of this specification is to provide a common framework for OAuth 2.0 to interwork with other identity systems using assertions and to provide alternative client authentication mechanisms.</t>
              <t>Note that this specification only defines abstract message flows and processing rules.  In order to be implementable, companion specifications are necessary to provide the corresponding concrete instantiations.</t>
