Need tighter explanation of preferred response types

Issue #12 closed
Pamela Dingle created an issue

The preferred response type for ASPSPs to implement is in fact code id_token not just code, because of the extra mitigation that occurs when id_token can be used as a detached signature for the authorization code. This preference is not clearly communicated in the spec.

Please update spec to show that code id_token is a SHOULD and that other supported options are MAY.

    security profile: Tighten up explanation of allowed response types

    Due to the extra mitigation that occurs when id_token can be used as a detached signature for the authorization code 'code id_token' is the preferred response type.

    code is allowed as an interim measure as per email discussion with Ralph/Pam/Dave.
