Action: Implement the comment.
Original draft:
To authenticate the Client, the RS validates the signature or the
MAC, depending on how the PoP protocol is implemented. HS256 (HMAC-
SHA-256) [RFC6234] and Ed25519 [RFC8032] are mandatory to implement
depending on the choice of symmetric or asymmetric validation.
Comment:
I think there is a decent argument (and that it's likely some other AD
will make it) that we need to make both HS256 and Ed25519 mandatory to
implement for the Broker, leaving only clients with the choice.
Otherwise we can get into scenarios where interop is impossible.
