Thanks for your feedback Thijs. As always, much appreciated. I'd like to
say that it's in fact the first time that someone directs me into the
mutual authentication problematic.


Would adding a 'remotetok' be sufficient. E.g.

<enabled
  xmlns='urn:xmpp:sm:3'
  xmlns:isr='urn:xmpp:isr:0'
  isr:tok='a0b9162d-0981-4c7d-9174-1f55aedd1f52'
  isr:remotetok='fe418035-4e1e-4b26-a406-2d7191995e97'/>

And then on instant resumption the initiator sends

<inst-resume
  xmlns='urn:xmpp:isr:0'
  tok='a0b9162d-0981-4c7d-9174-1f55aedd1f52'
  h='42'/>

and the remote part responds with

<inst-resumed
  xmlns='urn:xmpp:isr:0'
  prev-remotetok='fe418035-4e1e-4b26-a406-2d7191995e97'
  tok='006b1a29-c549-41c7-a12c-2a931822f8c0'
  remotetok='b5defa69-a337-4a0c-8a03-a83ca1d26a2c'
  h='21'/>

Could it really be so easy to add mutual authentication to ISR, or am I
missing something?
