Re: [w3c/webpayments-methods-tokenization] Gateway params sequence (#8)

Are you saying that you require mTLS for the merchant to gateway/psp communication?

> My point was on subsequent transaction you were still passing id stored in browser. so you are still having static value in browser which is sent to merchant. Then relying on merchant to get token. So here you are relying on merchant credentials. if they get compromised then hacker can use static id to get token.

Yes that's what I imply. Breaking into the merchant infrastructure should be harder than breaking into the end-user's computer.

Sounds good. Let's have a chat
