Hi all,

I am looking at different token types in Oauth2. I am having trouble
understanding the benefits of using MAC over the simple Bearer token.

It looks to me using MAC token can prevent replay attacks as it uses a
nonce. But if SSL is used, those attacks are no longer possible (assuming a
proper SSL implementation).

It mentions in the spec a two way TSL is recommended. Doesn't that mean
this mac token is not ideal for mobile/native apps where its impossible to
safe guard a client certificate?

Many thanks?

Jason
