<abstract>
<t>This specification defines an extensible metadata that may be
inserted into the OAuth 2.0 responses to assist the clients to process
those responses. It is expressed either as a link header, or
query parameters. It will allow the
client to learn where the members in the response could be used,
what is the characteristics of the payload is, how it should be processed,
and so on.
Since they are just additional response header/query parameters,
any client that does not understand this
extension should not break and work normally while supporting clients
can utilize the metadata to take the advantage of the extension.</t>

<section title="Introduction" anchor="introduction">
<t>Although <xref target="RFC6749">OAuth 2.0</xref> has been known for
its REST friendliness, OAuth itself is not RESTful, as it heavily relies
on out-of-band information to drive the interactions. This situation can
be eased by hypertext-enabling the endpoint responses through the
introduction of data structure that represents such hypertext and other
metadata. </t>
<t>Hyper-text enabling the OAuth responses has many advantages.
For example, </t>
<t>
<list style="symbols">
<t>The authorization server can assign different token endpoints
depending on the authorization request and the user authorization. </t>
<t>It is possible to tell the client which resource endpoint
it should use. This has a privacy advantage as well.
The location of the resource by itself may be a sensitive
information as its location may reveal information about the
resource owner.</t>
<t>It is possible to give a hint on the processing of the payload.</t>
<t>It will be resitant to Mix-up attack. </t>
<t>It will be resitant to Code Phishing Attack.</t>
</list>
</t>
<t>This specification defines methods to represent such metadata
in the authorization and token responses. </t>

<t>Token Endpoints that implements this specification returns the following
link relation (rel) and the corresponding URI value as defined in

<section anchor="authz_res" title="Authorization Response">
<t>While <xref target="RFC5988"/> defines a useful way of conveying link relations,
it cannot be utilized for a redirect based communication such as
the authorization response of OAuth 2.0. This section defines
a way to return a limited set of those link relations as query parameters
so that it can be conveyed over the redirection.
</t>
<t>The authorization response of the implementation of this specification may return
the following query parameter in the redirect URI.</t>
<t><list style="hanging">
<t hangText="turi">Token Endpoint URI.
The value of this parameter is the URI of the Token Endpoint that
the Authorization Code
can be sent to obtain the Access Token.
If this parameter is specified,
the client MUST check that the value of turi matches exactly
with the pre-registered token endpoint URI of the Authorization Server
that the session recoverd from the state variable points to.
The cleint MUST NOT send the code to
any other URIs than the value of this parameter. </t>
<t hangText="ruri">
Resource URI. The value of this parameter is the URI of the Resource Endpoint
that the Access Token can be used at.
If this parameter is specified, the cleint MUST NOT send the Access Token to
any other URIs than the value of this parameter.
</t>
</list></t>
<t>As long as the link relation type string does not collide with the underlying
protocol parameters, they can also be specified as a query parameter. The value MUST
be encoded in application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
</t>
<t>The following is an example of such resopnse. Line breaks are for display purposes only.</t>

title="Authorization Response Query Parameter Tampering by a Bad User">
<t>The query response parameters may be tampered by the man-in-the-browser.
It can also be tampered by a malicious user.
In general, anything that comes via the browser/user-agent
can be tainted and untrusted. </t>
<t>This specification mandates the turi check so that
tamparing of turi by the malicious user will be detected.
It does not mandate ruri check as the user can get the
Access Token and send it to anywhere he wants anyways
when it is returned to the browser. </t>
<t>
However, other parameters are not protected.
The Client MUST treat them tainted and implement
its own check rules for each parameters. </t>
<t>
To solve this "Tampering by bad user", either
HMAC(concat(params)) need to be sent with them
or have all of them inside the JWS.

Now, token response gets explained first so that the reader will grasp the
