Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Private Proof API (Issue #1071)

SamuelSchlesinger left a comment (w3ctag/design-reviews#1071)

Yes, indeed that is possible with the current design in the explainer. One mitigation we could apply is binding the proof to a nonce provided by the issuer at challenge time, the underlying cryptography supports this. Still, I should clarify, if you have a sink of valid tokens, then you can generate proofs and rate limiting tokens anyways, as we cannot bind the tokens to a device without seemingly violating some of our aims to allow cross-platform compatibility.

Currently, this API is on hold, but if we pursue it I will be sure to address the concerns you raised about replay attacks and the inaccurate diagram.
